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.
