After my speech yesterday at the American University of Nigeria (AUN), Yola, in Adamawa state, I took time to visit the Almajiri children participating in the Feed and Read Program.

I spent time engaging with them to better understand what they are learning, and it was truly inspiring to see their progress.

From our interactions, it became evident that the program is transforming their lives—not just by improving their literacy and numeracy skills but also by boosting their confidence and reigniting their passion for education.

Programs like this highlight the crucial role of inclusive education in addressing societal inequalities and unlocking the potential of every child, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Such initiatives serve as a powerful reminder of the impact we can make when we prioritize education as a tool for empowerment, growth and national development.

By harnessing every hidden potential, we make the future in a new Nigeria even more possible. -PO

Today, I traveled to Yola, the Adamawa state capital, where I was a guest and keynote Speaker at the American University of Nigeria (AUN).

This engagement was in continuation of my tradition of sharing my thoughts by speaking at various Ivory Towers across the globe.

This trend has taken me to various educational institutions worldwide, including Cambridge University, Oxford University, Harvard University, Yale University, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and the University for Peace, among others.

At today’s event, I expressed my gratitude to the university's founder, H.E. @atiku Abubakar, GCON, Wazirin Adamawa, who is both my leader and elder brother, for his immense sacrifice and visionary commitment to society, particularly in advancing education and human development.

I commended the students of the American University of Nigeria for their resilience and dedication to staying in Nigeria to study and learn, rather than joining the trend of “Japa”—a reality now prevalent among many young people in our land.

During my address, I emphasized the critical role of leadership in national development , underlining the need for competence, compassion, and capacity to transform our nation from consumption to production.

I highlighted the importance of foresight and vision, citing countries such as Indonesia, Singapore, India, Vietnam, and the Philippines as examples of nations that have followed the global measurements of development and have significantly improved their Human Development Indices, GDP, especially GDP per Capita within a decade, to prove what determined and enlightened leadership can achieve.

It was indeed a great pleasure to address such an audience of mostly young Nigerians.

A new Nigeria is indeed POssible!

Yesterday, after visiting the Almajiri school in Yola, I met with the students of Saint Augustine College, Mayo-Belwa, Adamawa state and provided them with learning equipment in the form of 10 laptops and a printer to enhance their literacy in computer science and information technology.

Supporting education by equipping students with the right tools and resources is not just a responsibility but a necessity for building a better future. Their enthusiasm for learning was both encouraging and inspiring.

I am convinced that initiatives like this are vital for empowering the next generation, bridging the digital divide, and fostering innovation and excellence in our schools.

This is the type of commitment we need for sustainable growth and the advancement of our society.

A new Nigeria is indeed POssible!!!

Amazing work from our student, Lauren 👏🏻

Modern man is in a terrible predicament. He is helplessly enamored with the beauty of what the old world built, yet despises the beliefs that inspired them to build it.

It has been a very special day today on campus for David, Leanne & Faye, who helped the MSc Contemporary Physio Practice students celebrate Eid away from home with a fantastic feast 🍽️ #Eid2023

And a massive GOOD LUCK to our leader @R_J_Burgess who is running the London Marathon on Sunday! 🏃🏼‍♀️

These nations were forged and continue to be moulded by the character and vision of these leaders.
Modern Saudi Arabia is a product of Ibn Saud’s leadership. Singapore, of Lee Kuan Yew. China, of Mao Zedong and Wen Jiabao. United States, of George Washington. Israel,

“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” The time for Justice has come. Let all those who love truth and justice arise and build their nation. The history of every people or nation is directly related to certain leaders.

I am glad to be here in Enugu and to join our nation’s youth in their deliberations on shaping the future of Nigeria – their future! I thank the organizers for the gracious invitation.

Good governance and a prosperous and a stable economy are routinely anchored on sectoral and holistic pursuit of efficiency. More fundamentally, we must aspire to put in place a leadership that is imbued with competence, capacity, credibility and commitment.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

But before harping on these points, I must delve into two critical variables – vision and commitment. What is grossly missing in Nigeria’s leadership, governance and economic realm, is the lack of Efficiency.

Those who are used to stealing public funds or are beneficiaries of looted public funds look down on hard earned legal money.
Don’t mind them
Your 100 naira is of high value to us. So also is your 1K, 10k, 100k, 1m and 50m that is maximum

Unless the situation is arrested, with our population estimated to reach 400 million in the next 28 years, Nigeria would become a security risk to the entire Sub-Saharan Africa.

If we combine atrocious fiscal decline with grand and pervasive corruption and the level of incompetence of public leadership to such generalized poverty, we will end up a completely collapsed state, thrown back to state of nature.

Nigeria is poised to lead African countries as we leverage more private funds to meet our continent’s infrastructure financing needs. Those needs are estimated to be between $68 billion and $108 billion annually.

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

energy, transport, irrigation, and telecoms—to grow these and other sectors. We are eager to quickly close the infrastructure gap between now and 2030. That is the Nigeria we want in place by the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) target year.
