The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last general election, Peter Obi, has announced the facilitation of three projects to the tune of N6million plus some computers in Girls’ Secondary School, Chibok, Borno state.

Obi stated that anything done to promote education is not a donation but an investment.

The former Anambra State governor donated the sum of N6 million for the sinking of a borehole, provision of solar and a laboratory in the secondary school where over 276 school girls were kidnapped on April 14, 2014 by the Boko Haram terrorist group.

Obi, who spoke in Abuja while announcing the donation, however, condemned the misplacement of priorities by the government to favour the rich while the poor are dying in droves.

He berated the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) for spending N39 billion on the renovation of the International Conference Centre named after President Bola Tinubu in a place where people are dying of not having basic things like food, education and healthcare.

In a statement by his spokesman, Ibrahim Umar, Obi described the renovation of the conference as a wasteful venture and urged the federal government to always invest in ventures like education that would be profitable for the youth in the future.

”As we talk, teachers in the Federal Capital Territory are on strike for three months, protesting months of non-payment of salaries.

”This was one of the things I did when I was the governor of Anambra State; I made it to the extent that students use the computers, ten students to one computer,” he said.

Obi said that the donations would have been done in the Chibok community, but was warned that it is a security risk to do so because of the security situation in the area.

“If a section of the country is not safe to visit, the whole country is not safe,” he said.
The donation facilitator and activist for the free Chibok girls, Mrs Alisha Yusufu, said that the Chibok community contacted her on May 31 this year to solicit help in improving computer literacy in the school. She immediately contacted Obi, who quickly obliged.

The leader of the Chiboku community, who received the ten computer laptops and two laser printers, Dauda Iliya, pledged to ensure that the items were put to use for the maximum benefit of the students.
