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.

Obi congratulated both Eniola and David for their remarkable achievements, acknowledging that they not only bring honour to Nigeria but also inspire other young Nigerians to pursue their dreams and reach for the stars.

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.”
