In his ongoing commitment to investing in critical areas that drive development, health education, and poverty reduction, Mr. Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State and the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has donated 50 million Naira to the University on the Niger (UNINIGER), Umunya, at their take-off campus in Iyi-Enu, to support infrastructure development. He also provided an additional 10 million Naira to the School of Nursing at Iyienu Mission Hospital, Ogidi.
During his visit, Mr. Obi shared his view that financial support for health, education, and poverty reduction efforts is not merely expenditure, but rather an investment in crucial areas that drive sustainable development.
Highlighting the specific challenges facing the health sector, Mr. Obi noted that it is burdened not only by funding gaps and infrastructure deficits but also by a significant shortage of healthcare professionals across the country.
He expressed his belief that investments like these form the foundation of future developmental strides. Addressing the students, he encouraged them to remain committed to their studies and moral development, reminding them that the value of their qualifications lies in both academic and character excellence.
Mr. Obi was accompanied by Professor Stella Okunna.
