Mr. Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate for 2027, visited Faith Foundation College of Nursing Sciences in Nsukka yesterday and donated ₦10 million to support the institution’s development.
During the visit, Obi toured several ongoing projects on campus and praised the progress being made.
The college’s proprietor, Rt. Rev. Dr. Aloysius Agbo, warmly welcomed Obi and thanked him for his sustained support for the school.
Obi used the occasion to appeal to young Nigerians to reject ethnic-based politics and focus on unity and nation-building.
Agbo disclosed that Obi’s earlier financial contributions had played a significant role in giving the institution the confidence to embark on many of the projects currently under construction.
The Proprietor said the support had encouraged the management to continue investing in the development of the institution and its facilities.
In continuation of his support for the institution, Obi presented a cheque of ₦10 million towards the ongoing projects.
He also assured the management that he would continue to partner with the institution until it realises its objective of producing its first set of nurses.
Obi said his intervention was part of his broader commitment to supporting education and healthcare, particularly the training of quality healthcare professionals who would contribute to strengthening Nigeria’s healthcare system.
He thereafter proceeded to St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, Nsukka, where he participated in the 68th Annual Conference of Anglican Youths.
Addressing the youths, Obi urged them to recognise their responsibility in building a new Nigeria, stressing that the country they desire cannot emerge without their active participation in shaping its future.
He urged them to reject politics based on tribe, religion or language and instead insist on electing leaders with proven character, competence, capacity, integrity and strong ethical values.
According to him, the future of Nigeria depends not only on the leaders the country produces but also on the standards citizens demand from those who seek public office.
“Our future depends not only on the leaders we produce but also on the standards we demand. Together, we can build the New Nigeria that is possible,” he said.
