Former Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 General Election, Mr Peter Obi, has demonstrated his commitment to community welfare by donating N10 million to the Dominic Health Centre in Obinofia Ndiagu, Ezeagu Local Area of Enugu State.
Mr Obi, in a statement on his X handle on Friday, highlighted that this contribution is part of his ongoing dedication to supporting the less privileged in society. He expressed, “In my commitment to caring for people, especially the less privileged, and in continually investing in the critical areas of national development, I visited a remote community, Obinofia Ndiagu in Ezeagu Local Govt Area of Enugu State, during the week and donated N10 million to help.”
The donation was specifically directed towards the completion and equipping of a primary health center, a project initiated by Most Rev Callistus Onaga, the Bishop of Enugu Diocese. Two years ago, the Bishop informed Mr Obi about the urgent need for a primary health center in the area, where access to healthcare was virtually non-existent.
“I graciously responded and contributed to building the health center. When the appeal came that the building had been completed, but not yet equipped, I decided to visit the community again to lend my support in equipping the primary health center,” Mr Obi stated.
Acknowledging the critical role of the primary healthcare center in a community where healthcare access was previously unavailable, Mr Obi shared his satisfaction with the journey. He concluded, “We must understand the crucial significance of this primary healthcare Centre to the community where access to healthcare was previously unavailable. It was a long difficult journey going there, but I was glad I made it.”
