The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections Peter Obi has admonished youths to imbibe the spirit of hardwork, discipline and integrity as sure parth to success.

He shared his personal journey, explaining that although he was born and raised in Onitsha, success did not come easy.
He underscored that like many of them, he too faced challenges but was able to overcome them through hard work and discipline.

To further support the youths, Obi provided N300,000 each to 25 individuals to help them further their productive ventures, and pledged to continue empowering two more youths every month, starting in January.

***Canvasses for health, education as keys to poverty eradication
Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 General elections Peter Obi, has again donated N60 million to two educational institutions in Anambra State.
The effort is to strengthen health and education sectors he considers essential for lifting people out of poverty.
During a visit on Monday, Obi presented N50 million to Peter University in Achina and later donated N10 million to the College of Nursing Sciences in Adazi Nnukwu.
Just on Thursday last week Obi had donated N60m to support local institutions; N50m to the University on the Niger (UNINIGER) in Umunya, the university’s Iyi-Enu campus, to aid its expansion and infrastructure goals.
He also visited the School of Nursing at Iyienu Mission Hospital in Ogidi, where he contributed an additional N10 million to support healthcare training.

He emphasized that such investments are crucial for creating a nation where citizens can contribute productively to economic growth and development.
