President Buhari has appealed to Nigerian youths who are in a haste to leave the country to stay back and advance the cause of their motherland. 

The President who was represented at 44th convocation ceremony of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in Ile-Ife on Saturday December 14 by Suleiman Raman-Yusuf, the deputy executive secretary of National Universities Commission (NUC) urged universities to work out ways to increase their internally generated revenue (IGR) to enhance sustainable education.

He said; “It is high time that universities took more proactive roles in ensuring that graduands perform more meaningfully in the world of works. 

“It is in view of this that we wish to exhort our youths to start looking inwards, stay and advance the cause of their motherland. We have no other country than Nigeria. We should remain here to salvage the country together.”

President Buhari who called for support in the education sector, stressed that the future of Nigeria lies in the quality of education provided to its citizens.
