Peter Obi tells Nigerian Govt. to refocus attention to development

Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has urged the Nigerian government to shift its focus to the pillars responsible for development in the country.

The politician, on his X handle on Thursday, explained that need for areas such as healthcare and education to become the priority for development.

Peter Obi stressed the importance of this move, revealing that he donated the sum of fifteen million naira to Philomena School of Nursing Sciences to support the school’s facilities.

“On Tuesday, 24 February, in continuation of my commitment to supporting critical sectors of development – healthcare, education, and poverty reduction. I visited Benin City. While there, I stopped at the Philomena School of Nursing Sciences, one of the largest nursing institutions in the region. This was not my first visit. Over the years, I have made it a duty to encourage both staff and students of schools across the country as they pursue excellence in healthcare training. In further demonstration of this commitment to Philomena School of Nursing Sciences, and to support the school’s facilities as I have done previously, I donated the sum of fifteen million naira. I call on the government at all levels, as well as wealthy Nigerians, to channel greater attention and resources toward the critical pillars of development – security, healthcare, education and poverty reduction,” he wrote.
