The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, continued his philanthropic tour in Nigeria, visiting various schools and hospitals in Anambra state while making donations.
Yesterday, the former Anambra Governor toured the state, visiting the College of Nursing Sciences, Amichi, Immaculate Girls Model Secondary School, Nnewi, and St Felix Hospital, Nnewi, where he made healthy donations to the various institutions.
Obi described his experience in the schools on X, stating that Immaculate Girls Model Secondary School, Nnewi, complained of a new school bus and laptops, given that the last school bus and laptops they received from the Anambra Government were during Peter Obi’s tenure as governor.
The Labour Party man left the secondary school to visit St Felix Hospital, Nnewi, where he donated N5 million to the hospital.
” In continuation of strengthening our healthcare system, I visited St. Felix Hospital, Nnewi, after receiving their request a few days ago for my assistance on an urgent need for the hospital. I gave my support of ₦5 million to support their operations and promised to continue my support to them and their facility.” Obi stated, recounting his experience
Obi stressed that for Nigeria to make meaningful progress, the government must invest in Education and Health, as they are the key indices of Human Capital development. Obi reiterated his commitment to contributing to the growth of Nigeria in his own little capacity.
