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.
The Federal Government has announced an extension of the NYSC programme. It can be noted that the NYSC camp orientation is usually for three weeks before the youths go out to gain experience, employment, and serve the country for one year.
However, the FG announced that the passing-out parade from camp will be cancelled, and corps members will now spend six weeks in camp instead of three weeks.
“The first two weeks speak to laying a foundation on civic responsibility. The next two weeks will look at career mapping, basic accounting literacy skills, business planning and access to finance. The final two weeks, we intend to have focused corps-stream-specific training aligned with the corps member’s designated stream based on his choice, academic background and skills profile.”
With the rainy season in Nigeria, many are wondering if the increase in flooding has now become the new normal. Lots of videos, clips, and complaints have literally flooded online, showing how badly roads, homes, and other places have been affected.
We were used to hearing about the rise of water on the Island since it is literally surrounded by water, but now floods are being spotted on the Mainland as well.
We may not know exactly why this is happening, but one thing is certain—we urgently need a lasting solution.
The federal government reacted to claims stating that the new tax rules will be imposed on telecommunications and petroleum products for Nigerians.
The FG released a statement to explain the process and stated that there is no intention to place taxes on telecom and petroleum products and services.
“Those recommendations do not amount to government policy and are not binding on Nigeria. Decisions on tax matters are taken through established constitutional and legislative processes and are guided by national priorities and prevailing economic realities.”
