Peter Obi, the former Anambra State governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, has donated ₦50 million to his alma mater, Christ the King College (CKC), Onitsha, Anambra State.
The donation, made in collaboration with fellow Old Boys of the school, is aimed at improving infrastructure and enhancing the learning environment for students.
Obi, who described CKC as instrumental in shaping his values of discipline, academic excellence, and moral grounding, said the gesture was an act of gratitude to an institution that greatly influenced his life.
He emphasized that education remains the most critical investment for the country’s future and a foundation for national development.
He urged other alumni of CKC and schools across the country to give back to their former institutions rather than wait solely for government intervention.
According to him, collective efforts from old students can significantly rebuild and strengthen educational institutions to produce responsible and competent citizens.
Obi also expressed appreciation to the management of CKC, the Archbishop of Onitsha, Most Rev. Valerian Okeke, and all stakeholders working tirelessly to advance education.
He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting educational development, reiterating that “a new Nigeria is possible.”
