He made the statement after presenting a cheque of ₦15 million to St. John of God Secondary School in Awka, Anambra State.

According to Obi: “Yesterday, I visited St. John of God Secondary School in Awka as part of their 60th-anniversary celebration. After encouraging the students to take their education seriously, especially skills acquisition as a foundation for future success, I presented a cheque of 15 million Naira to the school on behalf of Mrs. Bridget Egodi Egbujiobi (formerly Bridget Egodi Akaigwe, Class of 1979).


During a recent visit to the United States, I was warmly hosted by Dr. Leo and Mrs. Bridget Egbujiobi. In our discussions, Mrs. Egbujiobi expressed her pride as an alumna of St. John of God Secondary School, Awka. 


I mentioned the upcoming anniversary event and the school’s need for support, and, recognising the impact this contribution could have, she generously decided to make this donation, which I presented today.


Following this, I visited the new Regina Caeli School of Nursing in Awka, where I contributed 10 million Naira in support.


My commitment remains steadfast: to support critical areas of development in education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation.


A new Nigeria is POssible!”
