Peter Obi and Prof. Ozuah Donate N25M to Support Rural Healthcare in Anambra
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.
He praised the Immaculate Heart Sisters and the hospital staff for their dedication to serving underserved communities, describing their work as a key part of building a healthier and more productive nation.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
