Peter Obi and the students during the visit at the weekend.
By Valentine Amanze
Labour Party (LP) Presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Mr. Peter Obi, has donated N120 million to Holy Rosary College, Nsugbe, Anambra State.
Obi explainded that N100 million of the amount was to support their educational and health outreach programmes, reflecting his commitment to the critical sectors, while N20 million was specifically for the college at Nsugbe, which was a redemption of a cheque he signed for them when he was Governor but was cancelled when he left.
The Anambra State former governor made the donation at Holy Rosary College, Nsugbe, while the Holy Rosary Sisters and their well-wishers were celebrating their century-long legacy of service at the weekend.
He also assured that the entire pledge would be redeemed over two years.
During the ceremony, Obi commended the Holy Rosary Sisters for nurturing the next generation through quality education and compassionate healthcare.
Obu, who described them as pillars of progress and development in Nigeria, appealed to them to continue rendering services to humanity without division based on creed or any other unwholesome consideration.
The Chaplain of the school, Rev Fr James Okafor, in his sermon, called on the students to embrace the values of discipline, hard work, and service that the Sisters embody.

He also called on Nigerians, especially the privileged, to learn how to give back to the society from Mr. Peter Obi.
Obi’s participation in the centenary celebration and his financial support are part of his broader vision to uplift education and healthcare across the country.
The event concluded with a special prayer for the continued success of the Holy Rosary Sisters’ mission and for the future generations of students who will benefit from their work.
