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.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
