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.
