“Education is the most important thing in your life. It is the most important capital, equipment that you need to be successful. That you are here is a sign that you’re already a success,” he said.
He shared his personal experience, highlighting the impact of education on his life. “In this school in 1970, I was at the gate here to salute General Gowon who visited, and joined other children to sing for him, but through education I was able to grow to the point where I sat with him on the same table and made decisions.”
Obi added by reiterating his plans to inspire children through teaching. “I hope to retire to Onitsha someday, and take up a teaching job to inspire children,” he said.
