Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, recently made another visit to Peter University Achina and the College of Nursing Adazi. During his visit, he generously donated ₦60 million to both institutions.

Obi shared the reason behind his donation on his X (formerly Twitter) page, explaining that the funds are aimed at supporting the growth and development of the institutions. This donation is a part of his ongoing efforts to contribute to the improvement of education and healthcare in the country.

The donation is expected to help enhance the quality of education at Peter University Achina and improve the training of healthcare professionals at the College of Nursing Adazi. Obi’s continued support for these institutions highlights his commitment to strengthening education and healthcare, key sectors that are crucial for the nation’s development.

He took to his X page to reveal the reason behind his donation and wrote:

“In tune with my unwavering belief that health and education are veritable ways of pulling people out of poverty and that these sectors are critical to development in a New Nigeria, yesterday, I paid a visit to the Peter University, Achina, Anambra State, where I gave them my financial support of N50 million.

Thereafter, I visited the College of Nursing Sciences in Adazi Nnukwu, where I made an additional donation of N10 million.

These visits and support gestures are in line with our unwavering commitment to building a productive nation, through encouragement and support in the critical sectors of health, education and poverty eradication.

I have constantly maintained that no nation develops without a healthy and educated workforce.

With Nigeria having a predominantly youthful population, we must continue to prioritize the future of our youths by investing in these critical areas.

By so doing, we will build a nation of healthy and educated citizens who are productively contributing to the growth and development of the nation.

I extend my gratitude to the Proprietors, Management, Staff, and Students of both Peter University and the College of Nursing Sciences for their contributions to our health and education sectors.

I remain confident that a New and Productive Nigeria is Possible. -PO”
