Yesterday 4th October evening in Washington DC, I addressed members of the Nigeria Friendship Association, a group of professionals that began nearly 30 years ago when many of them were younger and studying in the United States. Today, they are accomplished professionals, mostly living around Washington DC, the Maryland, and Virginia Area (DMV) and beyond. What struck me most about them is their unwavering commitment to education, which they have supported consistently over the years, both in the U.S. and back home in Nigeria.
Education remains the most vital investment any nation can make in its future. With over 24 million out-of-school children, the highest number in the world, Nigeria has over 24 million reasons to fear what lies ahead if we fail to act and address education. No nation grows beyond the quality of its human capital, and education is the foundation for building that capital.
In a time when Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the world of work and innovation, education 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. The efforts of associations like the Nigeria Friendship Association give hope that together, we can rebuild Nigeria through learning, compassion, and collective action.

Yesterday, Tuesday, 14th October, for the third time, I was delighted to honour the 3rd invitation to commission projects attracted by Honourable Lilian Orogbu, member representing Awka North and Awka South Federal Constituency, who continues to demonstrate what purposeful representation truly means.
The 1st was the commissioning of
7 new classroom blocks at a Secondary School in Achalla, and thereafter 6 classroom blocks at Okpuno, both in Awka North, to foster education in the State.
Education remains the most vital investment any society can make. I have always maintained that the most certain way to lift people out of poverty and build a productive nation is through investment in education and human capital development.
Nations that have prioritised education are those that have achieved lasting growth and stability.
We must continue to empower our young people through learning, creating opportunities, and building communities with knowledge.
I commend Hon. Prof. @Oby_Orogbu for her outstanding work and her dedication to the growth and development of her constituency. This is the kind of leadership we must continue to encourage, one that puts people first and places education at the heart of national progress.
