The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has donated ₦2 million to Tungan Nasara LEA Primary School in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, to support the improvement of facilities, including the construction of toilets.
Obi made this known on X (formerly Twitter), noting that no child should be left to learn in a deplorable environment.
He wrote: “Yesterday, 9th October, arrived in Abuja from Rome, where I had held a series of meetings earlier in the morning. Upon arrival, I was informed by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate for the AMAC Chairmanship election scheduled for February 21st, 2026 – Dr. Moses Paul – about the plight of a public primary school in Tungan Nasara, FCT, that has been struggling with extremely poor toilet facilities.
“In line with my continued commitment to investing in education across our dear nation, I immediately visited Tungan Nasara LEA Primary School in the FCT. I was deeply saddened by the deplorable condition of the facilities, especially the toilets, which pose serious health risks to both pupils and teachers. No child should be made to learn in such conditions.
“As an initial intervention, I made a personal donation of ₦2 million to support the construction of proper toilet facilities and to improve the overall learning environment. I have also made a commitment to return and assess the progress of the work.”
Obi acknowledged that children are the future of Nigeria, stressing that their learning environment must reflect the value placed on their future.
He urged fellow leaders to prioritise education and the welfare of young Nigerians, thereby ensuring that every child has access to quality education in a safe and healthy environment.
He further stated that education remains the most critical investment in the country’s development.
