The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has donated ₦15 million to the College of Nursing Sciences in Amichi, Anambra State, to support institutional upgrades and create a more conducive learning environment.
Obi made this known on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, reiterating his commitment to investing in the critical pillars of national development, including education and healthcare.
He wrote: “I visited the College of Nursing, Amichi – an institution whose establishment I supported as Governor of Anambra State and which I have continued to assist annually from inception to date. My continued support is driven by my firm belief that healthcare is a fundamental pillar for serving communities and strengthening our nation.”
Obi noted that the College now stands as a thriving institution, producing skilled professionals, and has consistently achieved a 100 per cent pass rate in the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria examinations.
“I donated ₦15 million to further enhance the institution’s learning environment and infrastructure,” he affirmed.
He added that education remains the most powerful tool for lifting individuals and communities out of poverty, stressing that Nigerian leaders must continue to prioritise and invest in it.
