President Buhari has appealed to Nigerian youths in a haste to leave the country to stay back and advance the cause of their motherland.

The President who was represented at 44th convocation ceremony of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in Ile-Ife on Saturday December 14 by Suleiman Raman-Yusuf, the deputy executive secretary of National Universities Commission (NUC) urged universities to work out ways to increase their internally generated revenue (IGR) to enhance sustainable education.
