Obi announce a donation of N30 million to Dominican University during a visit to the institution in Ibadan, Oyo State. He also gave another N30 million to Peter University in Anambra State.
The former Governor of Anambra State said education remains one of the most enduring investments any society can make, noting that it not only transforms individual lives but also strengthens communities and prepares nations for future challenges.
Obi stated that whenever the opportunity arises, he considers it a privilege to support institutions committed to learning, character formation and service to humanity.
According to him, his visits to the universities were not merely ceremonial but an affirmation of his belief that higher institutions should inspire young people to dream beyond their immediate circumstances and see themselves as citizens capable of contributing meaningfully to national development.
He added that the donations reflect his continued advocacy for greater investment in education as a pathway to national progress and social transformation.
