Peter Obi donates N10 million to varsity in Anambra

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi donated the sum of N10 million to the Paul University, Awka owned by the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion on Thursday, April 6, 2023.

As the 2023 election came to an end, Peter Obi has hinted on continuing his philanthropic works to schools and hospitals, which he suspended to focus on his political campaign.

According to him, his donations was to enable build human capital in the country as well as improve infrastructure in the public institutions.

He said: “This is a visit that I would have made since January this year, but as you know, I was involved in campaigns. I didn’t want what I’m doing in the education and health sectors to be mixed up with politics.

“As a person, I endeavour to visit at least three hospitals and three secondary schools every month. As you would see later from the cheque I have for you, it was written since January this year.

“This Paul University is one of the institutions that benefits from my intervention once in a while in my own little way.

“I believe that to solve this country’s problems, we need to invest in human capital development, and this means investment in health and education, which is why I always intervene in these areas all over Nigeria.

“Elections are over and since I am no longer canvassing for votes, this is the time to show interest in my country by continuing what I have been doing.

“That is what I’m here to do at Paul University. I urge you all to keep doing the right thing as I believe that God will at his own time, intervene, and give salvation to Nigeria.”
