Former Governor of Anambra State and Presidential candidate of Labour Party in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, says he is in support of Nigerian nurses relocating abroad for greener pastures.
Obi stated this over the weekend while making a donation of N50million donation to Peter University in Achina/Onneh and N10million to School of Nursing Sciences, Adazi-Nnukwu, yesterday.
Addressing students of the College of Nursing Sciences in Adazi-Nnukwu, Obi 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.
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,”
