Former president Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has revealed that he’d considered enrolling with the National Youth Service Corps.
The former head of state made this revelation while being decorated as grand patron of NOUN Alumni Association at a meeting with the executives of the NOUN Alumni Association, at his Hilltop residence, in Abeokuta.
According to him, he would have loved to participate in the national NYSC programme, but he was simply too old to be considered.
The former head of state, said after his graduation from the National Open University of Nigeria, he was approached about the NYSC programme.
He said; ”Somebody wrote me a letter when he got to know that I have graduated from NOUN, he wanted me to do national youth service, but unfortunately for him there is age limit.”
