The Labour Party, LP, Presidential candidate in the 2023
general election, Mr Peter Obi, has appealed to the Federal Government to
support private universities in the country.
Obi made this call on Wednesday at the Madonna University in
Elele, Rivers State.
He said, “Government should support private universities in
the country because they are doing the work of the government. They should not
be charged exorbitantly in the name of Internal Generated Revenue,” he said.
While emphasizing the pivotal role of education in any
society, the former Anambra State governor said education is the most vital
investment any nation can make for its people.
He charged the government at all levels to partner with
private schools in the country beginning from primary school down to tertiary
institutions.
He urged Nigerians to pray for leaders to use public funds
for the good of the public and not for personal gains.
