Peter Obi has urged students to seek opportunities abroad if necessary, noting that if Nigeria improves, migrants will eventually return.Former Governor of Anambra State and Presidential candidate of Labour Party in the 2023 general election, Mr Peter Obi has urged students who want to seek greener pastures outside Nigeria after their graduation to do so.
Obi stated this while making donation of N60 million to two higher institutions in Anambra State. He said if Nigeria is fixed, those who have migrated abroad will return.The former governor made N50million donation to Peter University in Achina/Onneh and N10million to School of Nursing Sciences, Adazi-Nnukwu, yesterday.
Addressing students of the College of Nursing Sciences in Adazi-Nnukwu, Obi said: “It is my 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.
“My PA, Michael-Jude who was here with me the last time I came here has travelled abroad. He got married to a nurse, and the UK government granted his wife and her husband all rights to study, and he is now in UK. As I am now, I am looking for a new PA,” Obi said.Earlier at Peter University, Obi encouraged the students to take their studies seriously, describing education as transformative power, which can form a pillar of national development.
He urged students to pursue academic excellence, emphasising that an investment in education is an investment in the future.“Education is the most impactful tool for societal progress. You must see yourselves as future leaders capable of driving positive change.”
