Monday, October 6, 2025 - The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has warned that Nigeria’s future stability is at risk if urgent steps are not taken to address the country’s education crisis.
In a post on his verified X handle on Sunday, Obi said that
with over 24 million children currently out of school, “Nigeria holds 24
million reasons to fear what lies ahead” unless concrete action is taken.
He emphasized that no nation desirous of meaningful
development can afford to neglect the education of its young people.
The former Anambra State governor stated that no nation
grows beyond the quality of its human capital, stressing that education is the
foundation for building that capital.
Obi maintained that with the rapid rise of Artificial
Intelligence, AI, transforming work and innovation globally, education has
become indispensable.
“It is no longer optional; it is essential for daily life.
We must equip our young people with the knowledge and skills to compete
globally, not just to survive but to lead,” he said.
