The candidate of the Labour Party (LP) during the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi has donated the sum of N60 million to two schools in Anambra State.
During a visit on Monday, Obi presented N50 million to Peter University in Achina and later donated N10 million to the College of Nursing Sciences in Adazi Nnukwu.
Just last Thursday last week, Obi had earlier donated N60m to support local institutions with N50m going to the University on the Niger (UNINIGER) in Umunya, the university’s Iyi-Enu campus, to aid its expansion and infrastructure goals.
He also visited the School of Nursing at Iyienu Mission Hospital in Ogidi, where he contributed an additional N10 million to support healthcare training.
Writing on his official X account, Obi said that the contributions align with his longstanding commitment to fostering a productive Nigeria.
“Health and education are the cornerstones of development,” Obi said.
“A nation cannot progress without a healthy and educated workforce.” He highlighted the importance of prioritizing the future of Nigeria’s youth, given the country’s predominantly young population.
The donations are part of Obi’s broader vision of building a “New Nigeria” by investing in critical sectors that address poverty and improve citizens’ quality of life.
He emphasised that such investments are crucial for creating a nation where citizens can contribute productively to economic growth and development.
The former governor of Anambra State extended gratitude to the proprietors, management, staff, and students of both institutions, commending their dedication to the fields of health and education.
