Peter Obi Returns To Holy Rosary, Donates ₦15 Million To Strengthen Healthcare by Ofunaofu(op): 6:38am On Jun 28

Delighted to Return to School of Nursing Sciences, Emekuku, Owerri, Imo State.

In continuation of my itinerant visits to educational and healthcare institutions in the country, yesterday, I visited the School of Nursing Sciences, Holy Rosary Hospital, Emekuku, where I met with the management, staff, and students, and presented a donation of ₦15 million to the institution.

I reminded the students that the world needs them more than they need the world because healthcare is one of humanity’s most fundamental needs. Any nation that truly desires development must invest in the education and training of healthcare professionals, who remain indispensable to the well-being and productivity of society.

I was delighted to inspect the computer laboratory, which I had previously supported, and to witness the remarkable progress the institution has made. It was also encouraging to reflect on other health institutions, such as Iyi-Enu and Borromeo, which I supported over the years and which have now grown into teaching hospitals. Their transformation reinforces my belief that sustained investments in health and education can produce enduring results. I look forward to seeing Holy Rosary Hospital attain the same status.

Our vision must be to build a Nigeria where functional institutions produce competent professionals, where investments are directed to critical sectors that lift people out of poverty, and where every child, regardless of background, has the opportunity to succeed. That is how we will build a nation where the son of nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody.

A New Nigeria is POssible.

Call it political charity if you like, but this isn't akara-frying, agbado-roasting or kuli-kuli frying empowerment. This is institution-building, strengthening healthcare, investing in human capital, and creating a legacy that outlives election cycles.

He is donating to critical sectors of the economy, and he didn’t tell graduates after university that they should start frying akara and kuli-kuli.

Show us the breakdown of Remi’s donations to APC women leaders across the 36 states.

That’s the area where the APC makes its own donations at political rallies.

For a private citizen to donate half a billion naira to critical sectors of the economy without expecting anything in return shows the type of person he is.

I don’t care about the others who used taxpayers money for political giveaways.

Some are grateful for the donation

When some are grateful that their messiahs wife told them to start frying akara and kuli kuli.

They hate the donation and the donator, but love the idea of frying akara and kuli kuli and the person that said it.

I think we are now seeing/witnessing the olodo uprising version 2.

if obi had donated to health sector when he was governor, doctors won't go on strike for 13 months

Read the below to get real information on why they went on strike

The Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has explained the circumstances surrounding the prolonged industrial dispute between his administration and medical doctors during his tenure as governor of Anambra State in 2013, saying the strike was a fallout of his efforts to reform the state’s failing health sector.

Obi spoke during a live interview with Nigerian YouTuber, Adeola Fayehun, aired on Monday.

He said although the doctors’ strike lasted for about 13 months, it did not significantly affect healthcare delivery, as alternatives had been put in place to ensure sick residents were attended to.

According to him, the dispute arose from his decision to overhaul moribund health institutions and introduce a new model that involved faith-based organisations in managing and reviving health facilities.

He said, “It’s an issue I don’t want to discuss, our hospitals were not functioning, we tried to fund health facilities, it wasn’t working, there was strike in education too, we tried to fund our secondary schools and primary schools, it wasn’t working, so we decided that we have to have alternatives when I got to Anambra State, there was no single school of nursing that was accredited, no school of midwifery, no school of health technology – all these were not there.

“The hospitals were in bad conditions, same was the schools, we were putting money and we were not seeing the results, even bought ambulances, they disappeared, so I said no, we have to have an alternative. So we returned schools to the churches, the original owners, and say ‘we will fund you and of course, we saw the results, we moved from number 26 to number 1. The same thing happened with the hospitals, we built 10 schools of nursing, midwifery, and health technology but not through government

“For example, in Iyienu being owned by Church of Nigeria, they have the school of nursing, school of midwifery and school of health technology, we funded and resuscitated it and it was accredited, we went to Onitsha, Waterside being owned by the catholic church and Borromeo, their schools of nursing, school of midwifery, we resuscitated it, they were accredited and are functioning now.

“We went to St. Joseph Adazi, their school of nursing, school of midwifery, school of health technology we resuscitated it and it’s working. We went to Our Lady of Lourdes in Ihial, school of nursing, school of midwifery, school of health technology, we resuscitated it and it’s functional.

“We even worked with one of the Church of Nigeria bishops that were very committed in health issues, Bishop Ikeakor, and set up in Amichi Hospital, we built school of nursing, school of midwifery and school of health technology, these are schools that are there.

“So, in doing this, I had issues with the established bodies because they saw it that I was now doing things to the private sector. For me, the result was important and that was the issues

“During my governorship, I had strikes with teachers, doctors, different groups, but it was trying to change them from being what they used to be to what it should be. When you bring change, you will have enemies – all those who live off the old order, he added.
