By donating N10 million at the foundation-laying ceremony, Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi reaffirmed his commitment to help establish the Department of Midwifery & Public Health Nursing at the Millennium College of Nursing Sciences of the Diocese of Awka (Anglican Communion).
The event, according to Anaedoonline.ng, took place on September 9, 2023, on a Saturday.
The former presidential contender stated that he would be involved in the project all the way through thanks to his planned giving.

The College’s home hospital, Faith Specialist Hospital, received an N40 million donation from Obi earlier. The gift is intended to support the Diocese’s overall healthcare facility strengthening measures.
Speaking at the occasion, which took place in Awka today, Obi stated that he was inspired to make this donation because he thinks that access to healthcare is one of the most important social demands.
He urged organisations like the Church to continue supporting the growth of these crucial sectors.
Obi added that his desire to help sprang from the knowledge that these facilities benefited not just the bishop and his priests but also the state’s whole population. He expressed his devotion to the endeavour and even stated that he intended to use his contacts to persuade his friends to contribute money.
Dr. Alexander Ibezim, the Archbishop of Niger Province and the Bishop of Awka, both praised Peter Obi for consistently demonstrating his commitment to the welfare of the masses.

He highlighted Obi’s prior achievements in Anambra State as examples of actions that other leaders should imitate when genuinely committed to serving the people, such as the return of schools to the Church, massive financial support for the schools, as well as significant financial support for healthcare.
The cleric highlighted Obi’s investments in education and healthcare, describing him as “the builder of both individuals and institutions,” in explaining the value of his contributions to society.
