    ...Says gesture to ensure availability of quality, well-trained health professionals

    Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections and a former governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi has donated yet another N10 million to two different Schools of Nursing in Anambra State.

    He made the donation on Sunday when he visited the institutions.

    Obi made the donations known in a series of posts on his verified X account @PeterObi on Tuesday afternoon. He said the gesture is aimed at ensuring that Nigeria has quality and well-trained healthcare professionals at all times.

    Obi wrote:
    “On Sunday, January 21, 2024, I was pleased to visit the College of Nursing Sciences, Amichi, and School of Nursing, Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi, where I presented each of them with a cheque of N10 million to help them in the training and education of nurses.

    “I have always advocated the training of healthcare professionals, especially nurses, who play vital roles at the primary healthcare level, and whose contributions are very critical to the growth of our health sector.

    “There are concerns that there will be an acute shortage of nurses both locally and globally, which, our trained nurses can fill while providing adequate care for our teeming population.

    “I thank the voluntary agencies for partnering with the government to improve our health and education sectors. I also appreciate the proprietors, management teams, and teachers of these health institutions for their efforts in ensuring that we have quality and well-trained healthcare professionals.

    Through our continuous investment in the critical areas of development, we will be able to move our nation forward and build the New Nigeria we all look forward to. -PO.”
