Peter Obi supports nurses relocating abroad, believes they’ll come back when Nigeria improves.
Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has encouraged Nigerian nurses looking for better opportunities abroad to pursue their goals.
The former Governor of Anambra State stated this while addressing students of the College of Nursing Sciences in Adazi-Nnukwu over the weekend.
“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 & her husband all rights to study, & he is now in UK. As I am now, I am looking for a new PA,” he said.
