Peter Obi Donates ₦10 Million to Nursing College in Ibadan

Former Anambra State governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has donated ₦10 million to the College of Nursing Science, Oluyoro, Ibadan, as part of his ongoing effort to strengthen Nigeria’s education and healthcare sectors.

During his visit to the institution on November 12, 2025, Obi emphasized the importance of investing in human capital to build a productive society. He said the donation was aimed at improving the college’s facilities and training resources for student nurses.

The contribution adds to his recent ₦60 million support to nursing institutions in Enugu and Anambra States over the past month.

Obi noted that Nigeria currently faces a severe nursing shortage, with only 16.5 nurses per 10,000 people, a figure far below the World Health Organization’s recommended standard.

“Today, Wednesday 12th November, in my continued support for the critical areas of development in our dear nation, including education, healthcare, and alleviating poverty, I visited the College of Nursing Science, Oluyoro, Ibadan.

I met with the students, faculty, and staff, and spoke to them about the critical role they play in shaping a healthier Nigeria.

In my commitment to supporting education and healthcare, I donated ₦10 million to enhance their facilities and provide better learning resources. I remain committed to supporting initiatives that empower Nigerians to reach their full potential.

Our nation can only rise when every Nigerian has access to quality education, dependable healthcare, and opportunities to lift themselves out of poverty. We must invest in our youth, support our schools, and strengthen our healthcare institutions, so that we can build a future where every Nigerian can succeed and contribute to a stronger and more prosperous nation.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO”

The donation was well-received by the management of the College of Nursing, who expressed gratitude for Obi’s consistent advocacy and investment in social development.
