Obi said, he made the visit “in furtherance of my unwavering commitment to critical and measurable areas of development – health, education, and lifting people out of poverty.”
According to Obi: “Today, in furtherance of my unwavering commitment to critical and measurable areas of development – health, education, and lifting people out of poverty – I visited Our Lady of Lourdes College of Nursing Sciences, Ihiala.
During my visit, I took stock of their progress and was pleased to witness the positive outcomes of our ongoing support, the most recent being the ₦20 million I donated a few months ago to aid their efforts.
In recognition of their commendable work, I made an additional donation of ₦10 million today, with the promise of continued support.
Thereafter, I visited the Dame Irene Okwuosa Memorial Hospital in Oraifite, a world-class medical facility specialising in cardiovascular diseases, built by the Sir Emeka Okwuosa Foundation.
This facility, working in collaboration with the VOOM Foundation, is doing remarkable work in saving lives. I was truly impressed to learn that they have completed 117 open-heart surgeries, 2 vascular surgeries, and 10 interventional cardiology procedures.
These milestones represent an immediate and substantial contribution to improving healthcare and saving lives, thereby supporting a healthier and more prosperous society.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Sir Emeka Okwuosa and the VOOM Foundation for their extraordinary dedication. As I have often stated, we can collectively build a better society where the needs of children, the vulnerable, and the underprivileged are met.
We must all work hard and sacrifice for a new Nigeria that is possible.”
