Peter Obi Celebrates Five Nigerians’ Academic Excellence In China.

His Excellency, Peter Gregory Obi, celebrates five Nigerians’ who recorded excellent strides and won awards from SouthWest University in China.

The Nigerians, whose names are Ifeoma Amuche, Chioma Chukwuemeka, Oraka Chiamaka, Akpata Johnson and Chinedu Wilson were given awards for their academic exploits at the University. Ifeoma Amuche is especially described as the best graduating student from the university in that cohort.

A vote of thanks was presented in fluent Mandarin by Ifeoma Amuche on behalf of the recipients as well as other graduands, to a thunderous applause from the audience.

In a recent tweet in which I congratulated Miss. Ifeoma Amuche, of South West University, China for her academic excellence and recognition, I inadvertently omitted the names of her four Nigerian schoolmates, who won the same award, and on whose behalf Miss Amuche spoke.

The omission is deeply regretted. I wish to sincerely congratulate the other four excelling Nigerians, namely; Chioma Chukwuemeka, Oraka Chiamaka, Akpata Johnson and Chinedu Wilson, who respectively received the Excellent International Students Award from South West University, China. I congratulate them all for their academic exploits, which earned them international awards. I thank them for the honour they brought to Nigeria. I hope that the feat they have achieved will open more global doors to them and spur them towards greater accomplishments that

will add value to the world at large, and Nigeria in particular. I still maintain that we need to do more for Nigerian youths by way of greater investment in education, and equipping them with the right skills and knowledge to contribute productively to Nigeria’s development, and compete favourably on the global stage. I remain hopeful that the legion of Nigerians in the diaspora will in the near and distant future, contribute immeasurably in building the New Nigeria of our dreams. – PO
