Today, Thursday 7th May, I continued with my commitment to supporting critical areas of development—education, healthcare, and helping people out of poverty—with a visit to the University of the Niger, Umunya, Anambra State.
The university, which was established just five years ago, has continued to make remarkable progress, and I have made it a point to visit every year to support the good work being done there. My last visit to this institution was at its teaching hospital in Ogidi.
Today, I encouraged the students to remain dedicated to their studies, reminding them that the world today is driven by knowledge, and the future of Nigeria rests in the hands of young people like them.
In support of scholarships and educational development, I made a donation of 25 million naira for the development of the institution.
I sincerely commend the Diocese on the Niger, for their foresight, vision, and steadfast commitment to educational and institutional growth. I also wish to express my appreciation to the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, for his evident dedication to education. His commitment is reflected in the many schools and institutions he continues to support in their growth and strengthening.
I remain fully committed to the growth of education and the development of students in our country because no nation can rise beyond the strength of its education and human capital.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
