The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi,
has donated N20 million to the Faith Foundation Mission Hospital in Enugu State
to set up a College of Nursing Sciences.
The former governor of Anambra State revealed this in a post
on his X handle on Monday, November 13.
According to him, the act is in line with his commitment to
investing in critical areas of national development including health, education,
and poverty eradication.
His caption read, “Over the weekend, I visited Nsukka in
Enugu State, where I donated N20 million to the Faith Foundation Mission
Hospital, Nsukka. This is in line with my consistent commitment to investing in
the most critical areas of national development, namely: health, education, and
poverty eradication.
“The donation is my initial support to the hospital through
the Anglican Bishop of Nsukka, Rt Rev. Aloysius Agbo, to help them commence the
building of a College of Nursing Sciences.
“Healthcare workers are at the centre of Primary Healthcare
delivery, which is the foundation of any credible healthcare system.
“We must, therefore,
take the training of healthcare workers more seriously, especially now that our
dear nation and the global world are running short of these healthcare
professionals.
“I thank the Bishop and his entire team at Faith Foundation
Hospital for making this bold move to set up a College of Nursing Sciences.
“I will continue to support projects that will bring
development to our nation and be beneficial to Nigerians, for in so doing, we
will be able to build the New Nigeria of our dreams.”
