The presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi, has donated N10 million naira to College of Nursing Sciences, Amichi, Anambra State.
In a post shared on his official X handle, he revealed that the brain behind his decision was a way of keeping up with the tradition of supporting critical areas of development.
Obi disclosed the incident that led to the establishment of the nursing college in Amichi.
He further expressed excitement over the news of the 100% pass rate recorded by the nursing students in their Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria exams held last November and sent his heart felt gratitude to those who contributed to the success of the college.
His post reads,”In keeping with my tradition of supporting critical areas of development, today I visited the College of Nursing Sciences, Amichi, Anambra State, to interact with and encourage their management, staff, and students.
“I recall, as the then Governor of the State, visiting the Amichi Diocesan Hospital when it was overgrown by weed. While supporting the Proprietor, Rt. Rev. Ephraim Ikeakor, to revive the hospital, we discussed establishing the School of Nursing, Amichi, which has since grown into a College of Nursing.
“I was delighted to learn that they achieved a 100% pass rate in their Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria exams held last November.
“I congratulate and appreciate everyone who has contributed to the success the College enjoys today, from the proprietor to the management team, the entire staff, and all the students who are training to become healthcare workers in our nation.
“I presented them with financial support of ₦10 million to aid in training more nurses. Through our continuous investment in these critical areas of development, we will be able to move our nation forward and build the new Nigeria we all look forward to,” Obi added.
