Obi donates N70m to Shanahan Varsity, others, says education World’s Most Potent Currency,

Former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, has urged students of Shanahan University, Onitsha, to prioritise their studies, emphasising that education remains the most valuable global currency for competition. Obi made this statement today during the inaugural Mass for the official opening of the university.

In his remarks, Obi highlighted that both the Catholic and Anglican Churches have established some of the best educational institutions in the world. He explained his decision to support humanity through the Church, confident that they make judicious use of resources. He also called on the institutions to continue admitting students without regard to denomination, tribe, or nationality. “Like Gandhi, I encourage the brotherhood of all men,” Obi said while revealing that the next port of call will be the College of Nursing at Ayigba, in kogi State, University on the Niger and the School of Midwifery at Iyienu.

While visiting the School of Midwifery at Waterside and the School of Nursing Sciences at Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha, Obi reminded the students that from humble beginnings, they are destined for greatness. He assured them that they have chosen the right path, noting that studies predict a shortage of over 20 million healthcare practitioners in the coming years.

Obi, who recently pledged N120 million to the Sisters of the Holy Rosary for their educational and health apostolate, donated an additional N70 million yesterday to the Diocese of Onitsha to support their educational and healthcare missions. Of this amount, N50 million was allocated to Shanahan University, N10 million to the School of Midwifery, Waterside, and N10 million to the School of Nursing Sciences at Borromeo Hospital.

During the Mass, the Archbishop, who oversees these institutions, expressed gratitude to God for His continued blessings.

Speaking at the event, Rev. Fr. Prof. Josephat Obi Oguejiofor, Vice Chancellor of Shanahan University, thanked the Archbishop for his tireless efforts in establishing the university. He also commended those who contributed to its development and lauded Mr. Peter Obi for standing out among politicians. Fr. Oguejiofor assured that Shanahan University would soon become one of the greatest institutions in Nigeria.

“At present, we are constructing a 1,500-seater auditorium,” he announced. “I am also pleased to inform you that the Archbishop has granted a 50% scholarship on tuition fees for all students. I encourage all parishes to sponsor at least one underprivileged student as part of the Church’s mission to care for the poor.”

At both Waterside and Borromeo, the Chancellor of the Archdiocese, Fr. Basil Ekwunife, recalled Obi’s past contributions to the rebuilding of these institutions and thanked him for his continued support, even after leaving office.

Obi was accompanied to all the places by Prof. Chinyere Okunna and Prof. Patrick Obi.

Sorry Nigerians.

Nigerians want good governance but hates credibility,
Nigerians hail Tinubu as a politician that knows his onions but criticises him now he’s showing them pepper
Nigerians hate Nnamdi Kanu , but they keep quiet when he’s right and condemn the message because of the messenger

Nigerians hailed Asari Dokubo when he criticised Jonathan after he handed over the Buhari, but now they call him names because they felt Tinubu used and dumped him

Nigerians hailed wike when he was governor and today they hate him because they hate Tinubu.

Akpabio was the people’s favourite when he was a governor and today Nigerians dislike him

In all honesty, Nigerians living in Nigeria all need to experience western society first hand so that they’ll stop being used by their politicians.

A lot of Nigerians are following their politicians ignorantly and with all their heart because they’re blind… but the few that are well exposed see politics as a game.
