As part of his continued efforts to uplift education in different parts of the country, vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Peter Obi, recently visited the School of Medical Laboratory Science, Nkpor (SOMLAN) and donated N1.5 million to help them provide for their educational needs.
During the visit, Obi reinstated his commitment to education, which, as he had always said, remained a sure path to national development.
SOMLAN was conceived, established and commissioned by Mr Obi on May 6, 2014, as part of his Millenium Development Goals (MDG) projects, as governor of Anambra State. The Institution is managed by Sisters of Immaculate Heart of Mary Congregation.
Obi appreciated the church in general and the school management in particular for helping the government provide good and standard education to the public. He encouraged them not to rest on their oars in raising responsible citizens who contribute positively to society, while advising the students to take their education seriously and remain of good behaviour.
