Peter Obi Donates 25 Million Naira to Support Education in Two Schools in Awka
Peter Obi, the former Governor of Anambra State, recently shared an update on his X (formerly Twitter) handle regarding his visit to St. John of God Secondary School in Awka, as part of the school’s 60th-anniversary celebration.
In his post, Obi emphasized the importance of education and skills acquisition for the future success of the students, encouraging them to take their academic pursuits seriously.
Obi, who has long been a vocal advocate for educational development, presented a cheque of 15 million Naira to the school on behalf of Mrs. Bridget Egodi Egbujiobi (formerly Bridget Egodi Akaigwe, Class of 1979).
Mrs. Egbujiobi, a proud alumna of St. John of God, was unable to attend the event in person but played a crucial role in supporting the school’s anniversary celebration.
During a recent visit to the United States, Obi had been warmly hosted by Dr. Leo and Mrs. Bridget Egbujiobi, where they discussed the school’s ongoing need for support.
Recognizing the importance of contributing to the institution that shaped her, Mrs. Egbujiobi decided to make this generous donation to ensure the school continues to thrive and provides quality education for future generations.
Obi expressed his gratitude for Mrs. Egbujiobi’s contribution, acknowledging her commitment to the development of education in Nigeria.
In addition to his visit to St. John of God, Obi also visited the newly established Regina Caeli School of Nursing in Awka, where he presented a donation of 10 million Naira.
Throughout his post, Obi stood by his commitment to improving Nigeria’s future, stating that a new, prosperous Nigeria is possible with collective efforts in addressing the country’s most pressing challenges.
He is optimistic that through consistent support for education and healthcare, Nigeria can begin to realize its true potential and build a brighter future for its citizens.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
