Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 Nigerian presidential election. Has once again emphasized his unwavering belief in the limitless potential of Nigerian youths. In a recent Post on his X handle, Obi shared the inspiring stories of two young Nigerians who are making waves globally.

Young Achievers: Eniola Shokunbi and David Akiogbe

Eniola Shokunbi: At just 12 years old, Eniola has designed an innovative air filter to reduce the spread of airborne diseases in schools. Her impressive design has earned her $11.5 million in funding from the Connecticut State Bond Commission.

David Akiogbe: This 15-year-old Nigerian boy has achieved a remarkable score of 1580 on his Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), confirmed by MIT. David is poised to leverage his academic success to excel on the global stage.

Obi highlighted that these exceptional young individuals represent the untapped potential of millions of Nigerian children. He emphasized that many of these talented youths are unfortunately among the over 20 million out-of-school children in Nigeria, victims of the country’s uncaring leadership.

Investing in Education: The Key to Unlocking Nigeria’s Potential

Obi stressed the importance of investing in education to unlock the potential of Nigerian youths. He firmly believes that with the right support, these young individuals will not only excel globally but also contribute productively to Nigeria’s development.

As a former Governor of Anambra State, Obi has consistently demonstrated his commitment to education. During his tenure, he implemented various initiatives to improve education outcomes, including providing schools with modern infrastructure and resources [1).
