2027 Presidential hopeful of African Democratic Congress (ADC), Mr Peter Obi has commended the faith based organizations for filling the void in health education.
Obi said this when he donated N15million to two institutions owned by that Anglican Diocese of Nnewi (ADON), to support them improve their facilities.
Obi said each time he visits any faith based facility and sees what they are doing to improve lives, he remembers that the church is only coming in because of the failure of government in providing for the people.
Obi who donated N10million to ADON College of Health Technology, Nnewi, N5million to ADON Vocational and Technical Academy, Ozubulu, Ekwusigo Local Government Area said the money was to help them improve their facilities in what ever way they can.
He stated also that his interest in continuously donating was to help institutions who are providing various services because of failure of government. He added that most of the services the institutions offer are primary responsibilities of government, but churches are now coming in to assist.
He said: “I was here last year, but I remember that the cheque you got was to fulfill my pledge for the previous year, so I’m here to present you a check of N10million for this year.
“Students are part of our youths, and they form the foundation of which we hope for a better country tomorrow, so we must support the institutions that are moulding them into who we want them to become.
“Ours is to continue to show a token for the great work the diocese is doing. We need to pray for them so they will keep doing well. They are doing what we politicians and our government should be doing and that is why we need to pray for them.
“Your training is important and the people training you today is this institution, and we know that they training they are giving you is very impactful. That is why we are here to support them.”
At ADON Vocational and Technical Academy, Ozubulu, Obi also inspected their facility before presenting a check of N5million to the rector of the institution, Rev. Engr. Prince Igwe.
