The Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Mr Peter Obi, has urged Nigerian students, who want to seek greener pastures outside the country after graduation to do so.
Obi, who gave this advice while donating to two higher
institutions in Anambra State, said if Nigeria is fixed, those who have
migrated abroad will return.
The institutions were Peter University in Achina/Onneh and
the School of Nursing Sciences, Adazi-Nnukwu both in Anambra State.
While addressing students of the College of Nursing Sciences
in Adazi-Nnukwu, Obi it was his dedication to keep supporting institutions that
nurture skill, professionalism, and character.
“I was here in May this year to support you, and as I had
told you, the support was to be done last year, but I couldn’t come because of
electioneering, so I came in May.
“This is something I do every year, and today I’m here to
give you my donation for this year. Those of us in public life should be able
to earn public trust, and that is why I am here to do as I said.
“I have always told the Nursing Council not to restrict you
people from travelling abroad after graduation. If it is not going to work for
you here, go to where it will work for you.
“We will not advise anyone to stay where it is difficult for
them. If you want to seek greener pastures outside, please go. I’m sure that
when we build a greater Nigeria, you will come back,” Obi said.
Earlier at Peter University, Obi urged the students to take
their studies seriously, describing education as a transformative power, which
can form a pillar of national development.
He also encouraged them to pursue academic excellence,
emphasising that an investment in education is an investment in the future.
