“The college is not only training health professionals but also serves as a shelter for orphans, a testament to the power of purposeful private initiatives.
“I spent time speaking with both the students and the orphans, listening to their stories and their dreams, and encouraging them to continue working hard.
“I reminded them that education is not just a ladder for personal growth, but a national tool for lifting people out of poverty. In my usual way of supporting causes that impact lives, especially those often forgotten.
” I gave my modest support of N2.5 million to the school and the orphans and assured them of my continued support. We cannot build a prosperous nation without investing in its people.
” The path to development lies in improving healthcare, expanding access to quality education, and pulling as many Nigerians as possible out of poverty. A New Nigeria is POssible.”
