Ibadan, Anambra, FCT Stampedes: ‘You’re Consistently Inconsistent’ – APC Blasts Peter Obi
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.
