The former Anambra State Governor and Presidential candidate of Labour Party in 2023 elections, Peter Obi has disclosed the reason he goes around donating funds to schools.

Tribune Online gathered that Obi, has for years since after his eight years tenure in Anambra as governor been going around donating to schools, especially colleges where healthcare practitioners are trained.

Donating the sum of N15million to College of Nursing Sciences, Adazi Nnukwu in Anaocha local government area of Anambra State, on Wednesday, Obi said he has dedicated his life to one of purpose, and the purpose is to uplift humanity.

He said: “I believe that life must have a purpose and my own purpose is to give support to people as a way to uplift humanity.

“I go around Nigeria supporting schools because it is critical for us. The number one measurement indices of life in the world today is life expectancy. We need to invest in health and nurses are the human capital we need for this investment.

“That is why I’m going about and making donations in my own little way. Today, life expectancy in Nigeria is 54, and that is among the least you can find anywhere in the world.” Tribune
