Peter Obi endorses nurses relocating abroad, says they will return once Nigeria develops

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential contender, has encouraged Nigerian nurses seeking better prospects abroad to pursue their goals.

The former Governor of Anambra State mentioned this when addressing students at the College of Nursing Sciences in Adazi-Nnukwu over the weekend.

Peter Obi also mentioned how his former PA, Michael-Jude, who moved to the UK, married a nurse and was granted study rights by the government.

“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,” he said.
