The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi has donated ₦10 million to the College of Nursing Sciences, Amichi, Anambra State, to assist in the training of more nurses.
Obi disclosed this on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, noting that the donation is geared towards keeping his tradition of supporting critical areas of development.
He said that he visited the College so as to interact and encourage the management, staff as well as the students.
“I recall, as the then Governor of the State, visiting the Amichi Diocesan Hospital when it was overgrown by weed. While supporting the Proprietor, Rt. Rev. Ephraim Ikeakor, to revive the hospital, we discussed establishing the School of Nursing, Amichi, which has since grown into a College of Nursing.
“I was delighted to learn that they achieved a 100% pass rate in their Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria exams held last November,” he wrote.
The politician congratulated and expressed gratitude to everyone who has contributed to the success the College enjoys today, including the proprietor, management team, the entire staff, and all the students who are training to become healthcare workers in the country.
“I presented them with financial support of ₦10 million to aid in training more nurses,” Obi stated.
He added: “Through our continuous investment in these critical areas of development, we will be able to move our nation forward and build the new Nigeria we all look forward to.”
