Peter Obi Urges Nigerian Students to Seek Opportunities Abroad Until Nigeria Is Fixed
In a recent visit to two higher education institutions in Anambra State, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, encouraged Nigerian students aspiring for better opportunities abroad to pursue their dreams if local circumstances make it challenging to thrive.
Addressing this topic candidly, Obi highlighted that Nigeria’s economic and educational landscape has driven many talented young people to seek work overseas, and he understands their motivations.
During his visit, Obi made donations to Peter University in Achina/Onneh and the College of Nursing Sciences in Adazi-Nnukwu, stressing his commitment to uplifting education in Nigeria.
At the College of Nursing Sciences, he spoke directly to the students, reinforcing his dedication to backing institutions that build skill, character, and professionalism, qualities that he sees as crucial for the nation’s future.
Reflecting on his visit, he noted that he was fulfilling a promise he made earlier, mentioning he would have been there last year if not for election obligations.
He reminded the students that leaders must work to build public trust by following through on commitments, especially when it comes to education, which he views as a powerful tool for personal and national growth.
Encouraging openness to global opportunities, Obi expressed his opinion that students should not be restricted by policies that may limit them from working abroad.
Addressing the Nursing Council’s approach to restricting graduates from migrating, he voiced his belief that students deserve the freedom to seek better prospects outside Nigeria if they choose.
He added that, ideally, the goal should be to build a Nigeria where young people would naturally want to stay or, if they go abroad, would be eager to return to a prosperous homeland.
Earlier in the day, Obi also shared inspiring words with students at Peter University, emphasizing that a strong academic foundation is key to personal empowerment and national advancement.
He encouraged students to treat their education as an investment in their future, one that will yield results in their personal lives and the larger society.
He stressed the transformative potential of quality education, which he believes can pave the way for a better Nigeria.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
