The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, on Saturday, while recalling his recent visit to Canada, and the opportunity to explore Brampton, a city renowned for its rapid growth, earning its accolades not just within Canada but across North America, including a consistent AAA rating from Standard and Poor (S & P) over the past 8 years, advocated productivity and leadership commitment as invaluable insights for nation’s growth, essentially Nigeria, as is the experience in Brampton.

According to Obi, “Brampton, like many cities globally, thrives on the energy and harnessing of human potential for sustainable growth and development.

“The lessons gleaned from Brampton’s experience in productivity and leadership commitment serve as invaluable insights for our nation.

“It underscores the imperative for prioritizing investments in human capital development and channeling resources towards fostering an environment conducive to growth and progress.

“As leaders, it is incumbent upon us to prioritize the collective welfare of our nation above personal and sectional interests.

“Let us redouble our efforts towards steering Nigeria towards its full potential, guided by the principles of inclusivity, innovation, and commitment to national development. Together, we can realize the promise of a New Nigeria.”
