The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has continued to underscore the importance of improved health systems as development catalyst for any progressive nation.
Obi, while on a visit to a hospital owned by the Anglican Church in Kubwa, Abuja, on Friday, said that “when health and education are positioned as the engines of national progress, it creates a feedback loop that accelerates economic growth, social stability, and human capital”.
According to Obi, “health is the foundational layer of human capital. Without physical and mental well-being, investments in education and infrastructure yield diminishing returns”.
He stressed that a healthy child learns more effectively, leading to a more skilled future workforce, according to a statement E-signed by Ibrahim Umar, POMR Spokesperson.
During the visit, Obi donated N10m to support the development of the hospital.
Receiving the cheque on behalf of the hospital’s management, the Anglican Bishop of Kubwa, Rt. Rev. Duke T. Akamisoko, commended Obi for his spirit of charity which he is exhibiting all over Nigeria.
The Bishop said that the Church will support him with prayers in his political pursuit, saying Nigeria will be well in his hands.
Obi also visited the hospital clinic and commiserated with some patients.
