The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has encouraged Nigerian students to explore opportunities abroad.

Obi made this statement while donating ₦60 million to two higher institutions in Anambra State: Peter University in Achina/Onneh and the School of Nursing Sciences in Adazi-Nnukwu.

During his address to the College of Nursing Sciences in Adazi-Nnukwu, Obi reassured students that seeking opportunities abroad is a valid option.

He emphasized that if Nigeria is fixed, those who have migrated abroad will return.

“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.
