Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the recent general elections, has expressed concern that the Nigerian government is overlooking the most crucial sectors in the country. The former governor of Anambra State specifically identified Education, Health, and Poverty Eradication as the sectors in dire need of attention.

Speaking at the National Convention of the Old Boys of Nsukka High School (Anglican Grammar School), Nsukka, Enugu State, the 62-year-old businessman emphasized his passion for education and other vital sectors. Despite attending Christ the King College, Onitsha, he desires to see Nigerian schools competing with Western institutions in terms of quality and overall environment.

 Obi, who has consistently demonstrated his commitment by donating millions of Naira to establish schools and construct hospitals in the country, shared his thoughts on the current situation. He urged the Old Boys of Nsukka High School to collaborate with voluntary agencies to enhance education and other sectors, envisioning it as a way for Nigerians to collectively build a new nation.

 

During his address at the National Convention 2023, Obi recounted his experience as the Governor of Anambra State, highlighting how he partnered with voluntary agencies to address the neglect of critical sectors such as Education, Health, and Poverty Eradication. He commended the Old Boys for their dedication to maintaining high educational standards and encouraged them to further contribute to the cause.

 Obi also introduced the concept of planned giving to the Old Boys, explaining how it could be a sustainable way for alumni to continuously raise funds for their school. Illustrating with an example, he emphasized the potential to generate substantial funds through contributions from the over 400 registered members of the Old Boys association. He pledged his participation in the planned giving, citing his ongoing support for numerous schools and emphasizing the importance of private individuals contributing to education for national development and the realization of the New Nigeria.

It is noteworthy that Peter Obi secured the third position in the last presidential election with 6,101,533 votes, while President Bola Tinubu emerged victorious with 8,794,726 votes. Despite his enthusiastic pursuit of a new Nigeria, Obi continues to actively work towards its realization, contributing significantly to education and other crucial sectors.
