It was an unexpected scene in the city of Abeokuta on Saturday as the former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, was sighted driving a commercial tricycle, popularly known as Keke NAPEP, to pick up intra-city passengers.
Obasanjo said that his action was informed by the desire to show the teeming youths that there were many opportunities to legitimately make a living in the country.
The former president added that his action was to further stress what he said earlier that with the ‘Keke NAPEP’ business, which his government launched in November 2002, Nigerian youths could still be self-reliant.
