“This donation is towards building a College of Nursing Sciences to boost the number of healthcare professionals in the country,” Obi said on Sunday in Enugu while handing over a cheque for the amount to the Congregation of Daughters of Divine Love.
According to him, the donation is in huge appreciation of what the congregation of daughters of divine love are doing in the area of helping to build a better society.
He said: “If you look at the wonderful works they are doing, I have to support them. And in line with that, I have been going round talking to friends to help, especially now that they have the intention of building a college of nursing sciences which is critical if you consider the future.
“Nigeria today lacks basic medical care workers which nursing is number one. They want to build a college for that and I want to partner with them in that direction.
“I have also spoken to somebody I consider very committed in building a better nation and his contribution is immeasurable in supporting such things globally and is now doing so. He is Prof Godwin Ozuo that donated $50,000, which is N60 million, to make the money up.’’
