Peter Obi Urges Nigerian Students to leave their Country in Search of Better Opportunities elsewhere.
Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra State and the Labour Party’s presidential contender in the general election of 2023, says he supports Nigerian nurses moving overseas in search of better opportunities.
Obi said this over the weekend when he donated N10 million to the School of Nursing Sciences in Adazi-Nnukwu and N50 million to Peter University in Achina/Onneh.
Speaking to students at Adazi-Nnukwu’s College of Nursing Sciences, Obi stated:
“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,”
