Peter Obi, the Labour Party's presidential candidate from the last election, has donated ₦5 million and a bus to Grimard College of Nursing Sciences in Anyigba, Kogi State.

This donation fulfills a promise made during his previous visit three months ago, where he contributed ₦10 million to support the school's accreditation and infrastructure. 

Obi urged students to focus on their studies, emphasizing the critical role of nursing in meeting global healthcare demands and the necessity for increased investment in education and health sectors.

During Obi’s previous visit to the school in July, where he donated ₦10 million to support the school’s accreditation efforts and infrastructure development, the proprietor of the school and the Bishop of Idah, Most Rev. Dr. Anthony Adaji, mentioned the need for a coaster bus for accreditation purposes, suggesting that a used bus might suffice.

This week, Obi fulfilled his promise by presenting the school with a coaster bus and an additional ₦5 million to cover fuel and other logistical needs. 

Addressing the students, he urged them to remain focused on their training, emphasising 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, praising Obi for his steadfast commitment to education and healthcare. 

“Obi is not here for political reasons,” the bishop remarked. “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.”

The Provost of the school, Mrs. Usman Obonugwa, also expressed heartfelt appreciation, thanking Obi for his generosity and his ongoing contributions to the development of the institution.

Peter Obi’s donations and visit are further testament to his dedication to improving the educational and healthcare sectors across the country.
