Peter Obi Donates Laptops and Printer to Support Education in Adamawa
Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate and former governor of Anambra State, has expressed his strong commitment to supporting education in Nigeria.
In a post shared on his X handle, Obi highlighted his recent visit to the Almajiri school in Yola, followed by a meeting with the students of Saint Augustine College in Mayo-Belwa, Adamawa State.
During the visit, Obi provided essential learning equipment, including 10 laptops and a printer, to aid the students in improving their computer science and information technology skills.
Obi emphasized that providing students with the right tools and resources for learning is not just a duty but a critical necessity for securing a better future for the country.
He noted that education is a key pillar in the development of any nation, and empowering students with access to modern technology is crucial for bridging the growing digital divide in Nigeria.
The students’ enthusiasm for learning, according to Obi, was truly inspiring.
He shared that witnessing the eagerness of the students to engage with the new equipment was both motivating and encouraging.
Obi believes that initiatives like the one he launched in Adamawa are vital for fostering innovation and excellence within Nigerian schools, particularly in the fields of technology and computer science, which are becoming increasingly essential in the modern world.
“Supporting education by equipping students with the right tools and resources is not just a responsibility but a necessity for building a better future,” Obi wrote.
He continued, saying that projects like this are essential for bridging the digital divide, an issue that has become more evident in a world where technology is key to success in almost every sector.
By providing access to modern tools, Obi aims to empower the next generation of Nigerians with the skills they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world.
Nollywood star Yul Edochie has urged President Bola Tinubu to stay focused on fixing Nigeria’s current problems instead of getting caught up in early talks about the 2027 elections. In a message shared on Instagram, Yul, who has openly supported Tinubu in the past, said Nigerians are dealing with serious struggles, especially the rising cost of living and growing insecurity.
He wrote directly to the president, asking him not to be distracted by political noise: “We’re still in 2025. People are suffering. The focus should be on reducing hardship and restoring security. These are the real issues.” He ended his post with a prayer for Tinubu’s leadership, hoping he stays guided through the challenges ahead.
U.S. President Donald Trump is set to attend the final of the 2025 Club World Cup, according to ESPN. The highly anticipated final will be played this Sunday at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
This year’s expanded tournament began last month with 32 teams competing. Chelsea have already secured their spot in the final after a solid 2-0 win over Brazil’s Fluminense, thanks to a brace from Joao Pedro.
The Blues will now face the winner of the semi-final clash between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, set to take place Wednesday night at the same venue. Manchester City, the defending champions, won the last edition of the tournament.
2027 presidential hopeful aspirant, Peter Obi, has questioned the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), saying the situation doesn’t make sense to him. Obi explained that he would push for a political solution to Kanu’s case and other similar issues across Nigeria rather than allowing them to drag on.
Speaking during an interview on Channels TV’s Sunday Politics, Obi said it was hard to understand why Kanu was still in detention over allegations like insulting those in power. When asked if he supports a political approach to the IPOB leader’s case, Obi responded, “Why is he still being held? It doesn’t make sense to me.
“Some say he used vulgar words… I haven’t seen it myself. But even if he did, it doesn’t affect me. If I’m president and people call me a thief or an idiot — as they already do — it doesn’t bother me. My job is to ensure people can feed themselves.”
He also stressed that the same approach would apply to similar situations across the country. “If there’s a bandit somewhere in the North East, I’ll go there and meet him. That’s how you create dialogue and say, enough is enough. After that, action will follow,” Obi added.
