ABUJA (PRECISE POST) – Presidential candidate of Nigeria Democratic Party in the forthcoming 2027 general election, Peter Obi, has donated an additional N10 million to the College of Nursing Sciences and College of Medical Sciences at Bishop Shanahan Hospital, Nsukka, Enugu State.
Obi disclosed this on his X handle on Saturday after visiting the institution, which he said he remained committed to supporting.
According to him, the latest donation was aimed at strengthening the institution’s growth, development and capacity to provide quality medical education and training.
Addressing the students, Obi stressed that education goes beyond the acquisition of certificates, noting that it must equip individuals with the knowledge, skills, discipline and character required to make meaningful contributions to society.
He also urged the students to see their medical training as preparation for becoming competent and compassionate healthcare professionals capable of serving humanity anywhere in the world.
Obi reiterated his belief that sustained investment in education and healthcare, coupled with deliberate efforts to lift people out of poverty, remained among the most effective and responsible ways of building a better, more productive and prosperous society.
The former governor of Anambra state said investing in people was synonymous with investing in the future of Nigeria.
“When we invest in people, we invest in the future of our nation,” Obi said, reaffirming his vision of a better Nigeria.
