Peter Obi Fulfills Pledge, Donates Bus, N5m to Kogi Nursing College

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, returned to Grimard College of Nursing Sciences in Anyigba, Kogi State, on Tuesday to fulfill a promise made during a previous visit.

Obi had earlier donated ₦10 million to the college to support learning and pledged to assist further in meeting their urgent needs for accreditation.

During his visit three months ago, the Proprietor and Rector informed him that the school’s immediate need was a 32-seater coaster bus for students’ clinical experience trips.

After discussions with Bishop Most Rev. Dr. Anthony Adaji, Obi was told that a fairly used bus costing between ₦20 million and ₦30 million would be sufficient, as the price of a new bus had risen above ₦100 million.

True to his word, Obi returned to the college to present a fairly used bus within the specified range, aiding the students’ clinical assignments.

He also donated an additional ₦5 million to cover the cost of the bus’s registration, insurance, and other expenses for a year.

Obi expressed his gratitude to the institution’s leadership for their warm reception and commended their efforts in advancing education and healthcare.

He reassured them of his continued support, emphasizing his commitment to building a better Nigeria.
