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.
Since Uber exited Nigeria, rumours have been circulating over why the company left the country. One of the claims suggested that FAAN was part of the reason for the exit.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has now addressed the rumours and claims of its involvement in Uber’s decision to leave Nigeria.
FAAN said it could not speak for Uber’s decision, noting that the company likely had its own economic and regulatory considerations for leaving Nigeria.
FAAN’s Managing Director, Olubunmi Kuku, said “I can’t speak to Uber’s exit from Nigeria. I am sure they have their own economic and regulatory decisions as to why they chose to exit.”
Governor of Akwa Ibom, Pastor Umo Eno, reflected on a career choice he made when he had no choice back then.
The governor recalled how he made not less than ₦10 million in a month from selling bread and akara.
He stated “I started selling Akara and bread. Back then, I was doing Akara Burger — we opened the bread and put Akara inside for you. I made not less than ₦10 million in a month.”
Many Nigerians reacted and wondered if his reflection was in response to what the First Lady advised Nigerians earlier about selling corn.
Uber makes headlines in Nigeria as it announces that it is leaving the country. The transportation and logistics business has been in operation in Nigeria since 2014 and suddenly announced its exit on September 2, 2026.
This started with users receiving a message from the team stating that the company would be leaving Nigeria, and the announcement quickly began trending as many Nigerians started talking about Uber’s exit.
Uber shared “We are writing to share some difficult news. After a thorough review of our business, we have made the tough decision to wind down our operations in Nigeria, effective 2 September 2026.
“This wasn’t a decision we made lightly, because it will have a real impact on our teammates and friends who have worked hard for Uber. It’s important to say that these changes are about how we’re organised and what we’re prioritising, not about anyone’s contributions to Uber, which we will always value,” Khosrowshahi said.
