Peter Obi, former Anambra State governor and presidential candidate, has once again voiced his belief in the unlimited potential of Nigerian youths, calling for greater investment in their education and future.

Obi expressed his admiration for two exceptional Nigerian children, Eniola Shokunbi and David Akiogbe, whose remarkable achievements have not only brought them global recognition but also highlighted the untapped talents of millions of other Nigerian youths.

On his official X handle, Obi shared an inspiring post about the accomplishments of the two young Nigerians who are making a significant impact in their respective fields.

The first of these rising stars is 12-year-old Eniola Shokunbi, a Nigerian girl based in Connecticut, USA.

Eniola has made a groundbreaking achievement by designing an air filter aimed at reducing the spread of airborne diseases in schools.

Her innovative solution has been approved for funding by the Connecticut State Bond Commission, which has granted her a substantial $11.5 million to further develop the air filter.

This funding will allow Eniola to take her design to the next level, potentially improving health and safety standards in schools not just in the U.S., but around the world.

The second young achiever Obi celebrated is 15-year-old David Akiogbe, a Nigerian boy who scored an impressive 1580 on his Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), a standardized test used for college admissions in the United States.

His exceptional performance on the SAT has garnered attention from top academic institutions, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), which confirmed his score.

The inspiring stories of Eniola Shokunbi and David Akiogbe have served as a beacon of hope for millions of Nigerians, proving that the country’s youth can achieve greatness if given the right opportunities.

In his closing remarks, Obi expressed his confidence in the potential of Nigeria’s youth, stating, “With such future stars on the horizon, I am very confident that a New Nigeria is possible.”

Two years into his administration, President Tinubu highlights key achievements in Nigeria’s economy and social sectors. He reminds Nigerians of the tough choices made early on, like removing fuel subsidies and fixing foreign exchange policies, to stop the country from slipping into crisis. These bold moves have started to pay off.

Inflation is easing, staple food prices are dropping, and the oil sector is seeing renewed growth with billions invested. The government has improved revenue collection, narrowed the fiscal deficit, and built up reserves to protect Nigeria from shocks.

Tax reforms are helping small businesses and protecting low-income families by cutting VAT on essentials like food and education. The administration is also supporting new industries through targeted incentives and making trade easier and fairer.

On the social front, health services are expanding with thousands of primary health centers being upgraded and new cancer treatment centers opening. Free and subsidized medical care is reaching more Nigerians, while health insurance coverage grows steadily.

The president also points to progress in education, youth empowerment, and infrastructure development as the foundation for long-term growth. Despite challenges, these efforts show that Nigeria is moving in the right direction, building a stronger economy and better future for all its people.

Since taking office two years ago, President Tinubu has been clear that improving security and investing in the nation’s people are top priorities. He recognizes that without safety, the economy and daily life cannot thrive. His administration has worked hard to strengthen collaboration among security agencies, increase intelligence operations, and support the welfare of the military and police. According to him, it is thanks to these efforts, some regions once troubled by bandits have seen peace return, allowing farmers to get back to work and roads to become safer for travelers.

Beyond security, the government is focused on building a brighter future through education, healthcare, and youth empowerment. Investments in schools and student loans aim to give more Nigerians access to quality education. Health programs have upgraded thousands of primary health centers, introduced cancer treatment centers, and expanded health insurance coverage. The administration has also launched initiatives to create jobs, support small businesses, and encourage innovation—especially among young people eager to shape Nigeria’s tomorrow.

President Tinubu believes these steps are creating a foundation for lasting growth and opportunity. While challenges remain, the commitment to protecting citizens and developing human capital signals a hopeful path forward for Nigeria’s future.
