In line with my commitment to investing in critical areas that drive development, health education, and poverty reduction, I visited the University on the Niger (UNINIGER), Umunya, yesterday, at their take-off campus in Iyi-Enu, and donated N50 million. I also visited the School of Nursing at Iyienu Mission Hospital, Ogidi, where I made an additional donation of N10 million. I have consistently emphasised that the financial support we give to health, education, and poverty reduction initiatives is not expenditure, but an investment in crucial areas that will propel our development. Our health and education sectors continue to suffer from severe neglect and lack of government attention, with dire consequences manifesting in various ways. The health sector, for example, is not only burdened by funding gaps, infrastructure deficits, and non-transparent execution of health projects, but also suffers from a significant shortage of healthcare professionals across the country. We currently face a shortage of doctors and nurses, falling far below WHO’s recommendations. The solution to this urgent shortage lies in investing more aggressively in the training of healthcare professionals nationwide. I am, therefore, deeply convinced that our sacrificial investments today will form the foundation of tomorrow’s development strides. I thank the Proprietor, Management, Staff, and Students of both the University and the School of Nursing for their contributions to our health and education sectors. I remain confident that a New Nigeria is Possible. -PO

In tune with my unwavering belief that health and education are veritable ways of pulling people out of poverty and that these sectors are critical to development in a New Nigeria, yesterday, I paid a visit to the Peter University, Achina, Anambra State, where I gave them my financial support of N50 million. Thereafter, I visited the College of Nursing Sciences in Adazi Nnukwu, where I made an additional donation of N10 million. These visits and support gestures are in line with our unwavering commitment to building a productive nation, through encouragement and support in the critical sectors of health, education and poverty eradication. I have constantly maintained that no nation develops without a healthy and educated workforce. With Nigeria having a predominantly youthful population, we must continue to prioritize the future of our youths by investing in these critical areas. By so doing, we will build a nation of healthy and educated citizens who are productively contributing to the growth and development of the nation. I extend my gratitude to the Proprietors, Management, Staff, and Students of both Peter University and the College of Nursing Sciences for their contributions to our health and education sectors. I remain confident that a New and Productive Nigeria is Possible. -PO
