Peter Obi, former Anambra State governor, continued his nationwide focus on critical sectors like health, education, and poverty alleviation with a recent visit to a healthcare facility in Mmiata, Anambra East.

The hospital, managed by the Immaculate Heart Sisters under the IHM Health System, serves as the only healthcare provider for the remote Mmiata-Anam community.

Obi, alongside Nigerian philanthropist Prof. Ferdinand Ozuah, donated N25 million to the facility to support its ongoing efforts to provide quality healthcare in rural areas. This follows a previous donation of N75 million made by Obi and Prof. Ozuah last year to the IHM Specialist Hospital in Nkpor.

The hospital in Mmiata, which Obi handed over to the Immaculate Heart Sisters during his tenure as governor, has been significantly expanded over the years. It now stands as a lifeline for the community, offering essential services to those who would otherwise have limited access to healthcare.

Obi emphasized his belief in investing in critical areas like health and education, stating that these efforts, along with support for small businesses, are vital for national development. He also reaffirmed his commitment to extending similar support to institutions across the country.

WAEC Says English Exam Was Not Cancelled and Warns Against Fake News

WAEC has debunked rumours that the English Language paper written on May 28 was cancelled. The exam, part of the ongoing WASSCE for school candidates, faced serious delays at several centres across the country. In some places, the paper meant to start by 9 a.m. didn’t begin until late at night, leaving students to write under poor conditions, with many using phone flashlights and torchlights to read their questions.

WAEC explained that it received reports of a possible paper leak and had to act fast to protect the credibility of the exam. But contrary to claims making rounds on social media, the council made it clear the paper was not cancelled. In a statement by Moyosola Adesina, the acting Head of Public Affairs, WAEC said a press release dated May 30 announcing the cancellation was fake and not from the council.

She said WAEC doesn’t know where the false information came from, but suspects it was shared by individuals trying to create panic and damage the council’s image. The Head of WAEC’s National Office, Amos Dangut, also commented on the situation, saying the late-night exams held in some areas were far below the council’s standards.
