Investing in in Education and Human Capital

On Thursday, May 26th, I visited the College of Nursing Sciences in Mbano, Imo State, and was warmly received by the Provost, staff, and students. I am deeply grateful for their kind words regarding my earlier modest support of ₦10 million, which the school used for the procurement of solar power and a transformer. I also made an additional donation of ₦10 million to support ongoing developments at the institution.

It is always encouraging to see institutions striving to improve learning conditions despite obvious challenges. I am convinced that investing in education, healthcare, and critical infrastructure is the surest path to sustainable national development. These should not be seen as expenses, but rather as essential investments in our collective future.

We must move from consumption to production by deliberately supporting institutions that build human capital and empower our young people with the skills needed to drive progress.

I encouraged the students to remain focused, disciplined, and committed to their studies, reminding them that they are at the heart of the Nigeria we must build—one anchored in competence, compassion, character, and productivity.

By investing in our youth in a sustainable and productive manner, a new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
