Foreign countries may ask Nigerians to return home in future — Qatar-based scholar, Aluko

Dr. Akinseye Aluko, a professor at Liverpool John Moores University and Oryx University in Doha, Qatar, shared his journey from humble beginnings in Surulere and Mushin, Lagos, to his current academic and professional success. His parents emphasized education from a young age, which inspired him to pursue his passion for aviation, eventually enrolling in Michigan Flight Aviation School in the United States.

Despite financial challenges, he ultimately achieved his goal of becoming a pilot. Aluko's educational path included studying Public Administration in Kwara Polytechnic, Economics at the University of Ado-Ekiti, a master's degree in International Management from the UK, and a doctorate in Business Administration from Sunderland.

He also obtained a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. Aluko attributes his success to the values instilled in him during his childhood, particularly those formed in Surulere and Mushin. These experiences taught him to strive for greatness and surround himself with like-minded individuals. He also emphasizes the importance of promoting Africanism and Nigerian culture, both within and outside academic settings.

Aluko believes that every Nigerian has unique talents to offer the world and encourages them to share these gifts confidently.
