Obi highlighted the irony of Nigeria’s omission despite the program being led by a Nigerian professor, emphasizing the country’s untapped potential and capabilities.
The initiative focused on Kenya, Rwanda, Morocco, and Ghana as African countries for immersive learning in leadership, teamwork, and cross-cultural understanding.
“Hopefully, Nigeria will take note of these deficiencies and work towards enhancing its reputation and attractiveness in the global community,” Obi remarked. “This underscores the challenge of building a new Nigeria that remains achievable.”
