He brought GSM to Nigeria.

He cleaned up the banking sector

He formed the National Pension Commission - Pecom

He formed the EFCC

He cleaned up abuja and largely restored it to its original master plan

He formed the Niger Delta Development Commission - NDDC

Thirteen percent (13%) derivation for oil producing states

He saw to the establishment of private universities in Nigeria

Allowing the inclusion of private firms in power generation

We were owing over $30 billion in 1999, now we owe around $5 billion

He met $3 billion in reserves in 1999 and left $40 billion in reserves.




He didn't obey court orders - withholding Lagos LG funds against court orders

He neglected Lagos

Abuse of power - spending funds that have not been appropriated by the National Assembly

Greatest Airplane crashes in Nigeria's history

He played a big role in the Anambra/Ngige scandal

Lots of politically motivated killings remain unresolved

He was selective in his fight against corruption - he went after Tafa Balogun, Adolphus Wabara, but has left Tony Anenih, Sule Lamido alone.

OBJ's legacy to me is the realignment of political forces in Nigeria. Along ideological and partisan line instead of the usual tribal politics.

He is an Epitome of everything bad and EVIL. Who wrote about GSM, OBJ did not bring GSM to nigeria the process is their before he came in
