Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate during the 2023 general election, Mr. Peter Obi has said that leadership failure is responsible for the decay in health institutions across the country.
He said this yesterday when he paid an unscheduled visit to the students of Faculty of Dentistry, University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) Ituku-Ozala, Enugu state.
Obi told the students that he decided to pay the visit after receiving a letter from the faculty’s re-accreditation fundraising committee wherein the committee requested for his financial support for the re-accreditation.
He said seeing receipt of the letter signed by one of the students, he had contacted the authorities of the institution who confirmed to him that the request was genuine, so he decided to visit to see the situation on ground, promising the student that in addition to his personal donation, he would also solicit other good spirited individuals to support the faculty.
The former Governor Anambra state Mr Peter Obi handed over a cheque of N15million to the students as his own support.
