The former president revealed the reasons in a statement he issued on Friday.

Former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed why former Minister of Education and World Bank Vice President (Africa), Oby Ezekwesili is called 'Madam Due Process'.

He made the revelation as Oby celebrated her 60th birthday today.

Obasanjo in a statement on Friday, disclosed Ezekwesili earned her name as ‘Madam Due Process’ because of her diligence at work.

According to Obasanjo, before Oby Ezekwesili’s appointment as Minister, she worked with him in the Price Intelligence Unit, domiciled at the Villa, later called Due Process Unit.

He noted that the idea was to cut down on waste and bring transparency and accountability into the award of contracts, which Ezekwesili performed excellently.

He said: “Before I appointed Oby a minister, I assigned her to work closely with me in what we called the Price Intelligence Unit, domiciled at the Villa, which she headed.

“It later became the Due Process office, which earned her the nickname ‘Madam Due Process’. The idea was to cut down on waste and bring transparency and accountability into the award of contracts, which she did excellently.”
