In envisioning a New Nigeria, Obi underscores the imperative of prioritizing education as a cornerstone of national development. He advocates for investments in education, innovation, and the acquisition of new skills to foster competitiveness on the global stage.
The triumph of these young girls exemplifies the potential inherent in Nigeria’s youth and serves as a beacon of hope for a future characterized by excellence, innovation, and inclusive progress.
