Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Mr. Peter Obi, has encouraged Nigerian students to seek opportunities abroad after graduation if they wish.
He shared this advice while donating to Peter University in Achina/Onneh and the School of Nursing Sciences in Adazi-Nnukwu, both in Anambra State.
Obi emphasized that if Nigeria’s issues are resolved, those who have migrated will return.
Addressing students at the College of Nursing Sciences in Adazi-Nnukwu, he expressed his commitment to supporting institutions that foster 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.
