In a bid to strengthen the healthcare sector and support the education of future nurses, Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State, has donated ₦10 million to the Anambra State School of Nursing. The generous contribution will be directed towards enhancing the institution’s facilities, improving student resources, and ensuring top-tier training for aspiring nurses.
During the donation ceremony, Obi emphasized the importance of a well-equipped healthcare workforce for the well-being of the community. “Our healthcare system depends heavily on the quality of training our nurses receive. This donation is a step toward improving that training and ensuring that Anambra State continues to produce highly skilled healthcare professionals,” Obi remarked.
The donation is expected to fund the procurement of modern training equipment, upgrade the school’s infrastructure, and provide scholarships for students with financial needs.
