This is why I was asking the other day what Ogun State Tax Collectors were doing at Living Faith mission schools. The government should provide free books and other school materials for Nigerian /State citizens attending those schools. geeez: Donates N1bn to Public-Private Secondary Schools 1 Like |

AWKA—GOVERNOR Peter Obi of Anambra State yesterday in Awka handed cheques totaling N1 billion to Principals of secondary schools in the state for the renovation and equipping of their laboratories and libraries. Each secondary school received N2 million which the governor said, is part of the final push to upgrade the infrastructure in all public and missionary schools in the state. Obi announced at the ceremony attended by school children and their teachers, as well as traditional rulers and leaders of thought in the state, that the 2000 teachers to be employed for the secondary schools this year would be in the core subjects of English, mathematics, sciences and Igbo, adding that the teachers would be adequately trained both locally and abroad to equip them properly to enable them impart the right knowledge to the students. Yesterday’s event came barely ten days after the governor presented cheques of N1.5 billion for the rehabilitation of primary schools returned to the Churches; N2b for rehabilitation of primary schools owned by government and N3 billion to selected missionary hospitals to upgrade their facilities to enable them secure accreditation. Obi said the funds being disbursed were part of the N40b his government would commit in the next six months into various sectors as final push towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals, MDG. According to him, the money came as a result of savings, prudent management of resources and unprecedented support the state enjoys from development partners, adding that his administration has not borrowed money to execute any project. He also said that the state government had already procured 500 buses from local manufacturers, Coscharis Group and Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company to be distributed to both public and private schools. Other things he said would be provided to secondary schools before the end of the year include, 25,000 laptops installed with full school syllables and books, generators, sick bays and internet connectivity. Obi said the decision to accommodate all schools irrespective of their owners was because they were training Anambra children. He said that he was encouraged because the massive support he gave to schools in the past had manifested in the improved academic performance of the schools in the state and reminded the people that the only way to sustain the revolution going would be for them to vote in a credible and clear-headed candidate during the governorship election. Though most of the schools received buses from the state government about four years ago, Obi said one vehicle is inadequate for moving students to functions whenever the need arose, adding that it was for that reason that all schools would be given another set of buses. Other programmes mapped out for schools by the state government include provision of internet services, easy access to sick bay for the students, upgrading of Microsoft computer services and purchase of generating sets for all schools. |

On a serious note, Geeez, you don't entertain any criticism of South West Government in any thread but here you are posting about Peter Obi's donations. Be rest assured that South East Nairalanders will be divided on the correctness of this gesture. While others will view it as political. geeez: Donates N1bn to Public-Private Secondary Schools |

Ikengawo: Then we should check all the schools that receive the funds and find out if the principles did what they are suppose too. Nigerians have to be more responsible. We have to stop being lazy and follow up to make sure they do what they are suppose too. Or should he give the money to fake Chiefs acting like Igwe's? |

Looks like election things. geeez: How impressive?Peter Obi has always been dealing directly with the people when it comes to development. It is not about politics. When a model school was built in my town, the money was given to a committee, headed by the Town Union President, the headmaster, PTA chairman and 5 other members of the community and was supervised by the Igwe and all the account of how the money was spent was rendered to the people during the August meeting of that year. This is the best way to work for a community and schools. No kickbacks or bribe. No middle man. No delay by a contractor. No lobbying. 2 Likes |

Re: Obi On A Spending Spree by Nobody: 8:42am On Oct 04, 2013 |
No doubt the tempo the of donation has increased in the last few months but Peter Obi is notorious for such donations. Peter Obi believe in giving the funds for executing certain category of projects DIRECTLY to beneficiaries, thereby bypassing middle-men and politicians. Good or bad, that is his own way of curbing corruption. Check out some of the donations in the past (at least the reported ones): 1. Obi donates N200m to hospitals, schools March 1, 2013 http://thenationonlineng.net/new/obi-donates-n200m-to-hospitals-schools/ 2. Peter Obi donates more funds to missionary schools (with pictures) 31 October 2012 http://www.thenigerianvoice.com/nvnews/100922/1/governor-peter-obi-reached-out-to-revive-schools.html 3. Peter Obi donates to missionary school (with pictures) Jan 12, 2013. https://www.nairaland.com/1160516/pix-governor-obi-gives-n20million#13805194 4. Nigeria: Obi Donates N10.5 Million to Ihiala Hospital 15 February 2010 http://allafrica.com/stories/201002170582.html?maneref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3DPeter%2BObi%2Bdonates%2Bcheque%2Bschool%2Bmissionary%2Bhospitals%2B2010%26hl%3Den%26ie%3DISO-8859-1%26tbm%3D&mstac=0 And what is wrong with increasing the tempo of work to win the hearts of more electorates going into the November elections? As far as I'm concerned, that is the BEAUTY OF DEMOCRACY and dividends of free and fair elections. Free and fair elections pushes everyone to go the extra-mile to win votes legitimately. 2 Likes |

Ngwakwe: I have been trailing you to see if there is any evidence of your Igboness. Thank you. To answer you, I am a complete Igbo man and also a partisan being. I am unapologetic member of the All Progressive Congress, who hates PDP and anything or body that associates with it. And it behoves on me to defend my party and its actions irrespective of the region or states it is represented. I defend Aregbesola, fashola, and other APC goons the same way I defend Okorocha, Ngige, Ogbonnaya Onu, and other South Eastern progressives. About Igbo bashing- I bet you have not been following me, I systematically and tactically avoid any thread that harps or degenerates into ethnic bashing cos I am too big for that. But whenever it comes to political idealogy or strategy, I go with the south west ofcourse. Reason; Politically, They are modern, Sophisticated, Dependable, Progressive, Courageous, And ofcourse consistent with their thought. And it is my wish, we the igbos copy this part of their character and do away with others we found irritating. So next time, you see Cleverly post anything here, do the needful and be guided. On a lighter note, I thought deeper life people don't follow politics. 1 Like |
