Former Governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate of Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, Mr. Peter Obi has said Nigeria’s system was so poorly skewed that people’s intellectual capacity and talents do not match with opportunities available.
Obi stated this when he visited Francis Cardinal Arinze Secondary School in Nkwelle Ezunaka in Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State, where he made a donation of N10million to support the institution’s development.
The presidential hopeful was addressing the students on the need to take their education seriously as it holds the key to their future, when a female student, Miss Ifechukwu Blessing Boniface asked a question, saying most times meritocracy is slaughtered on the alter of favouritism while searching for job.
