He believes that Nigeria can achieve greatness if moral integrity and education are given equal weight.
Peter Obi, a former presidential candidate for the Labour Party, has praised Dominican University students in Ibadan, Oyo State, for returning his phone after he mistakenly left it there.
Obi claimed the event gave him new hope for Nigeria’s future in a post on his verified X handle on Monday.
According to him, the act of integrity embodied Dominican University’s values as both a center of study and a place where people develop good character.
He believes that Nigeria can achieve greatness if moral integrity and education are given equal weight.
He stated,
“I left Lagos at 5:30 a.m. and arrived in Ibadan at 8:00am, heading straight to Dominican University to engage with the students and encourage them to strive for excellence in both their academics and character.
“After what I found to be a valuable interaction, including a question-and-answer session, I donated N30 million to support the university’s ongoing development. This reaffirmed my belief that education is the cornerstone of progress.
“However, a simple yet powerful incident during my visit renewed my hope for Nigeria. I had forgotten my phone, and as I was leaving the university, students found it and returned it to me,”
