Obi Supports Education, Healthcare in Bauchi with N15m Donation
School proprietors Aminu Danmaliki (Malikiya College) and Alhaji Usman Abubakar (Quranic School) expressed gratitude, pledging judicious use of the funds for institutional improvement.
Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi has demonstrated his commitment to human capital development with a N15 million donation to two Bauchi State schools during a Friday visit.
The former Anambra governor allocated N10 million to Malikiya College of Nursing Sciences and N5 million to Intisharu Taufizul Quranic School, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.
Addressing nursing students, Obi emphasized healthcare’s pivotal role in national development:
“You are very important to society, you are very important to this country called Nigeria. Today, we know that the number one measure of success of any nation is health… The nurse is important. The nurse knows the patient, the nurse owns the patient, the nurse is everything.”
Obi revealed this donation aligns with his annual support to about 70 nursing schools nationwide.
School proprietors Aminu Danmaliki (Malikiya College) and Alhaji Usman Abubakar (Quranic School) expressed gratitude, pledging judicious use of the funds for institutional improvement.
This philanthropic act continues Obi’s established pattern of investing in Nigeria’s education and healthcare sectors since his presidential campaign.
