Former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has praised the commitment of Professor Azubuike Onuora-Oguno, a renowned expert in International Human Rights Law, to education and human rights, particularly his humanitarian efforts during the 2012 flood disaster in Mbamili, Anambra State.

Obi spoke in his goodwill message delivered at Onuora-Oguno’s inaugural lecture at the University of Ilorin, Kwara State on Thursday.

Obi congratulated Professor Onuora-Oguno on his achievement, describing it as a “personal triumph” and a “source of immense pride” for his community and the nation.

Onuora-Oguno’s inaugural lecture titled  “Disorder in Order in the Economics and Social Rights Jurisprudence in Nigeria” was the 264th  in the school. It focused on the right of Nigerians, including the right to education, especially for underprivileged communities, aligning with Obi’s ideals of uplifting Nigeria through knowledge, compassion, and integrity.

Although Obi was unable to attend the lecture in person, he was represented by Boniface Orji, who conveyed his sentiments of goodwill to Onuora-Oguno.

The inaugural lecture marks a significant achievement for the scholar who becomes the first Professor of Law from Mbamili and Anambra West Local Government Area, as well as the first Igbo Professor of Law at the University of Ilorin. 

Obi advised him not to relent in his zeal for a better Nigeria.
