”That is why I am running for Federal House of Representatives in Nigeria’s National Assembly, representing Bekwarra, Obudu, Obanliku constituency.”
PM NEWS reports that narrating his journey, Federick said: “I started my tertiary education as a student of The Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun (FUPRE). Although considered one of the top schools in Nigeria, it wasn’t a right environment for me – just as it isn’t the right environment for many students even now.
”At 21, while still a student of the university, I became an entrepreneur. I was passionate about entrepreneurship and decided to pursue that passion outside of the classroom. But FUPRE, just like every other Nigerian university never encourages activities outside of the classroom. They frown at it. As such, I was unable to balance academic work with my entrepreneurial activities.
”Universities shouldn’t expect every student to be normal. Some students have big, audacious goals; and want to go out there to pursue their passions. Our education system should be structured to support such students.

I enrolled at The African Leadership University (ALU) in Kigali, Rwanda afterwards. I joined ALU because ALU is for The Dreamer, The Leader, The Achiever.
”ALU is a school where the world is your classroom. They never limit you within the walls of a classroom, but encourages students to Do Hard Things even outside of the classroom. That is how I think universities in Nigeria should operate.
The tech-savvy added: “I’ll push for major reforms in Nigeria’s education system. Our education system is out-of-date and needs to conform with modern standards. As someone who once was a student of a Nigerian university, I know the areas that need amendment. Jamb Result
