The Labour Party presidential candidate in the last election, Mr. Peter Obi, has continued his empowerment of schools and hospitals across the country, with the donation of a coaster bus and N5 million to Grimard School of Nursing, Ayigba in Kogi State.
He told the studies to take their seriously and prepare for future leadership roles in Nigeria.
Obi had in July donated ₦10 million to support the school’s accreditation efforts and infrastructure development, and following a request by the Catholic Bishop of Idah, Most Rev. Dr. Anthony Adaji, he donated a coaster bus to the school on Tuesday.
While fulfilling his promise, the former governor of Anambra State made an additional donation of ₦5 million for fuel and other logistical needs.
Addressing the students, he urged them to remain focused on their training, emphasizing that nursing and allied sciences are in high demand globally.
He further assured the school of his continued support, noting that Grimard is one of over 22 nursing and midwifery schools that benefit from his annual educational assistance.
Speaking at the event, Bishop Adaji expressed profound gratitude to Obi for his commitment to education and healthcare.
“Obi is not here for political reasons. He is here to ensure that education thrives in Nigeria. He wants to see you succeed and lead in the future. Look up to him as a model of integrity in politics," Bishop Adaji said.
