Peter Obi Donates 10 Million Naira to College of Nursing Sciences, Mbano
Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate, has once again shown his commitment to the development of Nigeria, particularly in the critical sectors of health and education.
Over the weekend, Obi made a significant contribution to the College of Nursing Sciences in Mbano, Imo State, by donating a generous sum of ten million naira (₦10M).
Obi expressed his delight at the impressive strides made by the institution, which has evolved from being a School of Nursing to a full-fledged College of Nursing Sciences.
The institution has been instrumental in producing well-trained nurses and midwives who play an essential role in the healthcare system, making this contribution even more meaningful.
In his message, Obi spoke on the importance of supporting educational and health institutions, particularly during these challenging times for Nigeria.
He believes that these institutions are at the heart of national development and that they deserve greater attention and funding to help them thrive.
Obi also expressed his gratitude to all those who have worked tirelessly to improve Nigeria’s education and health sectors.
He acknowledged the contributions of individuals, organizations, and government bodies, recognizing that their efforts are vital to building a stronger, more prosperous nation.
In closing, Obi reaffirmed his belief in the possibility of a “New Nigeria,” one that will be shaped by collective effort, vision, and determination.
He assured Nigerians that the efforts being put into the development of education and healthcare would eventually lead to the transformation of the country into a more productive, healthier, and more educated society.
Since Uber exited Nigeria, rumours have been circulating over why the company left the country. One of the claims suggested that FAAN was part of the reason for the exit.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has now addressed the rumours and claims of its involvement in Uber’s decision to leave Nigeria.
FAAN said it could not speak for Uber’s decision, noting that the company likely had its own economic and regulatory considerations for leaving Nigeria.
FAAN’s Managing Director, Olubunmi Kuku, said “I can’t speak to Uber’s exit from Nigeria. I am sure they have their own economic and regulatory decisions as to why they chose to exit.”
Governor of Akwa Ibom, Pastor Umo Eno, reflected on a career choice he made when he had no choice back then.
The governor recalled how he made not less than ₦10 million in a month from selling bread and akara.
He stated “I started selling Akara and bread. Back then, I was doing Akara Burger — we opened the bread and put Akara inside for you. I made not less than ₦10 million in a month.”
Many Nigerians reacted and wondered if his reflection was in response to what the First Lady advised Nigerians earlier about selling corn.
Uber makes headlines in Nigeria as it announces that it is leaving the country. The transportation and logistics business has been in operation in Nigeria since 2014 and suddenly announced its exit on September 2, 2026.
This started with users receiving a message from the team stating that the company would be leaving Nigeria, and the announcement quickly began trending as many Nigerians started talking about Uber’s exit.
Uber shared “We are writing to share some difficult news. After a thorough review of our business, we have made the tough decision to wind down our operations in Nigeria, effective 2 September 2026.
“This wasn’t a decision we made lightly, because it will have a real impact on our teammates and friends who have worked hard for Uber. It’s important to say that these changes are about how we’re organised and what we’re prioritising, not about anyone’s contributions to Uber, which we will always value,” Khosrowshahi said.
