“Firstly, I had the honour of participating in the commencement of the new Shanahan University in Onitsha, which was launched today.
“I spoke to the students about the importance of prioritizing their education, as it remains the surest path to success. In support of the university,
“I made a token donation of N50 million towards the infrastructural development of the institution.
“From Shanahan University, we proceeded to Waterside Midwifery, Onitsha, where I made an additional donation of N10 million to support their progress and improve the quality of training for personnel who are crucial in reducing Nigeria’s unacceptable levels of infant mortality.
“My next stop was the Borromeo School of Nursing Sciences, Onitsha, where I reaffirmed my belief in the vital role that nursing schools play in our healthcare system.
“To further this cause, I donated another N10 million to assist in their continued efforts.
