The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress( NDC) in the 2027 elections, Mr Peter Obi, has donated N10 million to the Faith Foundation College of Nursing Sciences, Nsukka, expressing delight at the progress of projects underway in the institution.

Obi, who inspected some of the ongoing projects in the institution, was received by the proprietor of the college, Rt. Rev. Dr. Aloysius Agbo, who expressed appreciation for Obi’s longstanding support for the institution.

He also assured the management of the college that he would continue to partner with the institution until it realizes 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.

At St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, Nsukka, Obi 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.

In his speech, Agbo disclosed that the former Anambra governor'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.
