Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi has reiterated that health must be treated as a core driver of national development, calling it the foundational layer of human capital.
Obi made the remarks on Friday during a visit to the Anglican Church Hospital in Kubwa, Abuja, where he donated ₦10 million to support the hospital’s development.
“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,” he said.
According to Obi, without physical and mental well-being, investments in education and infrastructure yield diminishing returns.
“A healthy child learns more effectively, leading to a more skilled future workforce,” he said.
During the visit, Obi toured the hospital clinic and commiserated with patients.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the hospital, Anglican Bishop of Kubwa Rt. Rev. Duke T. Akamisoko commended Obi for his charitable work across Nigeria.
