By Daniel Edu

Former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, made a generous donation of ₦50 million to the Anglican Church during the foundation laying ceremony of the Department of Midwifery and Public Health Nursing at the Millennium College of Nursing Sciences, owned by the Awka Anglican Communion, on September 8, 2023.

Peter Obi has become known for his philanthropic efforts, particularly in supporting churches and educational institutions in the state, a tradition he has continued since the end of his tenure.

His previous contributions have included a ₦40 million donation to Faith Specialist Hospital, where the College is located, and this recent donation has brought his total contributions to ₦90 million.

Speaking at the event, Peter Obi, who is also the Labour Party presidential torchbearer, expressed his commitment to overseeing the project until its completion. He emphasized that his donation aimed to support the Diocese’s broader initiatives in strengthening healthcare facilities.

Obi underscored the importance of healthcare in societal development, citing it as a critical developmental need. He encouraged Nigerians to support the Church and other institutions in their efforts to develop vital areas of society. His support for the Church’s projects is driven by his belief that the entire state’s population will benefit from the improved healthcare facilities.
