The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, in the 2027 general elections, Peter Obi, at the weekend, expressed delight over his fulfilment in investing in education and human capital development in Nigeria.

Obi, attending the maiden graduation of Millennium College of Nursing Sciences, Awka, emphasised that what gave him the greatest joy and fulfilment was learning from the Provost, Mrs. Chisom C. Ezulike, that the initial support he provided served as the seed funding enabling the institution to commence operations seamlessly.

Obi said he was also pleased to learn that his subsequent interventions significantly contributed to making the historic graduation possible.

According to Obi, "there is no greater satisfaction than seeing a small act of support blossom into an institution that is transforming lives and strengthening our healthcare system."
Obi, in a goodwill message, wrote:-

"I was delighted to attend the maiden graduation ceremony of Millennium College of Nursing Sciences, Awka, an achievement that reflects the power of vision, commitment, and investment in human capital.

"What gave me the greatest joy and fulfilment was learning from the Provost, Mrs. Chisom C. Ezulike, that the initial support I provided served as the seed funding enabling the institution to commence operations seamlessly.

"I was equally pleased to learn that my subsequent interventions significantly contributed to making today’s historic graduation possible. There is no greater satisfaction than seeing a small act of support blossom into an institution that is transforming lives and strengthening our healthcare system.

"Nothing is more fulfilling than witnessing a modest investment in education grow into a thriving institution. Today, that same institution has graduated 116 pioneer students, who achieved a remarkable 100% success rate in the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria Professional Examination. This serves as yet another reminder that investments in education and healthcare are the most reliable investments in our nation's future.

"I commend the pioneer graduating Class of 2025 and extend my congratulations to the Proprietor, management, faculty, benefactors, and everyone whose dedication and sacrifices have made this notable milestone possible.

"Let us continue to invest in education, healthcare, and human capital development, for they remain the most assured paths to national progress and sustainable development.
