The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi on Friday donated ₦10 million to the proposed Holy Rosary School of Nursing and Midwifery in Mbaise, Imo State.
Obi also gifted ₦10 million to Our Lady of Lourdes Nursing School in Ihiala, Anambra State, amounting to ₦20 million contribution to both healthcare institutions.
He disclosed this on X (formerly Twitter), reiterating his commitment to improved healthcare and education.
“As I have always advocated, our development priorities must be anchored on measurable indices—healthcare, education, and poverty alleviation.
“At the foundation of a good healthcare system are well-trained professionals. In support of this institution, I donated ₦10 million and assured them of my continued commitment to their growth,” the politician wrote.
He continued: “Thereafter, I visited one of the well-functioning nursing schools, Our Lady of Lourdes in Ihiala, Anambra State, and also donated ₦10 million to support their efforts in providing quality healthcare to the people.”
The former Anambra State Governor noted that Nigeria must invest in critical areas of human capital development to drive sustainable progress.
He added that he will continue to support institutions that contribute to a healthier and more educated society.
