Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State and the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the general election of 2023, has encouraged students who wish to leave Nigeria after graduation in search of better opportunities abroad.

Obi made this statement while donating N60 million to two Anambra State higher education institutions.

“Those who have migrated abroad will return if Nigeria is fixed,” he remarked.

On Sunday, the former governor gave N10 million to the School of Nursing Sciences in Adazi-Nnukwu and N50 million to Peter University in Achina/Onneh.

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 P.A, 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 P.A.”

Obi has previously urged the students at Peter University to take their studies seriously, characterizing education as a transforming force that may serve as a foundation for the advancement of a country.

Stressing that an investment in education is an investment in the future, he exhorted pupils to strive for academic success.

“Education is the most impactful tool for societal progress. You must see yourselves as future leaders capable of driving positive change.”
