To promote education and healthcare in Nigeria, Peter Obi, the Labour Party leader and 2023 presidential candidate, has pledged N120 million to support the Holy Rosary Sisters’ programs over the next two years.
He made announcement during the centenary celebration of the Sisters’ outstanding contributions to the development of education and healthcare in the country.
During the event, Obi commended the Holy Rosary Sisters for their century-long service to Nigeria, acknowledging their tireless work in empowering communities and alleviating poverty through education and healthcare.
In his statement posted on X, Obi said:
“Today, I had the privilege of celebrating with the students of Holy Rosary College, Nsugbe, on their 10th anniversary, a milestone for a school I had the honor of laying the foundation for in 2013.
“This momentous occasion also coincides with the Holy Rosary Sisters’ centenary, marking 100 years of their unwavering dedication to education, healthcare, and lifting people out of poverty since their founding in 1924 by Bishop Joseph Shanahan.
“To support their impactful work, I am pledging ₦120 million over the next two years, of which ₦100 million will be directed towards their headquarters in Enugu for their education, healthcare, and humanitarian projects, including ongoing facilities in Nsukka.
“Additionally, ₦20 million will be allocated to Holy Rosary College, Nsugbe, as part of fulfilling a commitment I made during my time as governor, which was regrettably canceled by the succeeding administration.”
Obi reaffirmed his commitment to education, noting the critical role it plays in national development. He also praised the Holy Rosary Sisters for their inclusive approach, urging them to continue serving Nigerians regardless of background or circumstance.
“The Holy Rosary Sisters’ legacy stands as a testament to what can be achieved through dedication, service, and unity. I will continue to support initiatives that advance education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation across the country,” Obi added.
The pledge is a reflection of Peter Obi’s long-standing commitment to fostering progress in education and healthcare, sectors he championed during his tenure as Governor of Anambra State. His ongoing support to the Holy Rosary Sisters underscores his dedication to uplifting vulnerable communities through sustainable development programs.
