Nigerians react to Jonathan's son's graduation

Nigerians have taken to the comment section of the former president's post on Facebook and reacted to the development. Below are some of their comments:

Benjamin Uchenna congratulated the graduate:

"Congratulations. But public servants should lead by example. Our constitution should be amended. As a public servant occupying any position in Nigeria, your children must attend Nigeria Universities. That's the only way we can have a sound educational system in Nigeria."

Jorge LivingStone Akpabio expressed his preference for Nigerian institutions while sending his congratulatory message to the family of the former president:

"Congratulations, but I would have been happier if he had graduated from ATBU or Uniport. What are the political class doing to revamp our schools so that it will attract people from other countries?"

Phil Tor Ortese reflected on Nigeria's education:

"Congratulations to him, but with solemn reflection, why would one seek education in foreign universities? It means Nigeria doesn't have such a good university. Our leaders who ruled us sent their children abroad for quality education while they failed to achieve such a standard of education in the country they ruled."
