In 1959, after completion of his military training, he
was commissioned into the Nigerian Army as a
Second Lieutenant and attached to British Battalions in
England and in Germany. A year later, he was
promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. As a soldier,
President Obasanjo held several command positions including service with the United Nations
Peacekeeping Forces in the Congo. In 1961, he
transferred from the Infantry to the Corps of
Engineering, and in 1963, was promoted to the rank of
Captain and appointed Commander Engineering Corps.
That year, he was elevated to the post of General Officer, commanding the Third Marine Commando
Division, where he conceived and immediately
launched “Operation Tail Wind” which helped to
bring the debilitating Nigerian civil war to an end. He
accepted the surrender of the Biafran forces in
January 1970. In 1975, Chief Obasanjo was appointed Federal Commissioner for Works, and also served as
Chief of Staff and second in command to Brigadier
Murtala Muhammed, following the coup of 1976. After
the assasination of Briadier Muhammed, he reluctantly
stepped into his shoes, but refused to renege on his
administration’s goals and objectives. In 1977, he formed the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC), organised the second World Black and African
Festival of Arts and Culture (FESTAC ’77), set up the
Corrupt Practice Bureau; and through his
government’s efforts, independence was achieved
for Angola and later Zimbabwe. In 1979 he was decorated with the highest national award, Grand
Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR). To cap it
off, he became the first Head of State on the African
continent to ever relinquish power to a democratically
elected government peacefully and voluntarily. Please sign up to receive updates: Enter your email address to subscribe for
