Obi donates N30m 32-seater Bus to College of Nursing Sciences in Kogi

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, on Tuesday, donated N30 million 32-seater bus to Grimard College of Nursing Sciences in Anyigba, Kogi State.

Obi said that the donation was in fulfillment of his earlier promise to the school.
Obi had earlier donated N10 million to school to enhance learning.

Obi in a statement on Wednesday highlighted @PeterObi,

“Yesterday, I returned to Grimard College of Nursing Sciences in Anyigba, Kogi State, to honor a pledge I had earlier made three months ago.

“I had, in my earlier visit to the College, donated ₦10 million to support learning.

“Both the Proprietor and the Rector informed me then that their most urgent need for accreditation was a 32-seater coaster bus for the student’s clinical experience visits.

“In my further discussion with the Bishop, Most Rev. Dr. Anthony Adaji, he mentioned that since a brand-new bus now costs over ₦100 million, a fairly used one costing between ₦20 million and ₦30 million would suffice.

“Today, I returned to the College to present a fairly used bus within the range mentioned by the Proprietor, to assist the students in their critical clinical experience assignments.

“Additionally, I donated ₦5 million to cover the cost of registration, insurance, and other expenses for one year.

“I extend my sincere thanks to the Proprietor, Management, and staff of the institution for their warm reception and commend their tireless efforts in contributing to the betterment of humanity through education and health apostolate.

“I assured them that I would continue to support them in my modest way as we work together towards a new Nigeria that is POssible. -PO”
