Obi lauds contribution of churches to healthcare in Nigeria
Former Anambra State Governor and Presidential Candidate of Labour Party in the 2023 election, Mr Peter Obi has praised missions for their contributions in propagating quality healthcare in Nigeria.
Obi stated this on Friday when he visited Aguata Anglican Diocese to support the acquisition and revitalisation of the Good Hope Specialist Hospital in Isulo.
Obi during the visit donated N10 million to the facility which is located along Basden Road in Isulo, Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Presenting a cheque of N10 million which he said is the first tranche of his support, Obi expressed profound joy at contributing to a project that will enhance access to quality healthcare for the people.
He noted that his decision to support the Diocese was motivated by his personal conviction that investing in healthcare is one of the most meaningful ways to uplift society.
“Over the years, I have seen first-hand the transformative impact of projects executed by the faith-based organisations when given the right support.
“The Diocese of Amichi’s hospital facility, which I was privileged to support as Governor, has been turned around so remarkably that it now runs one of the best Schools of Nursing in Nigeria. I am confident that this facility at Isulo will follow the same path and become a beacon of hope for our people,” Obi stated.
Chairman of the Aguata Diocesan Hospital Board and Archdeacon of Ezira Archdeaconry, Ven. Dr. M. C. Obi, who received Obi during the visit, also led him on a tour of the facilities.
He expressed deep gratitude for his continued commitment to projects that uplift humanity, assuring Obi that the Diocese would not only put the facility to optimal use but also ensure that it becomes a centre of excellence for healthcare delivery.
