“After attending the inauguration of His Holiness, Pope Leo XIV, I returned from Rome this morning energised by the Pope’s message on fighting poverty. The Pontiff’s homily reaffirmed my earlier conviction that eradicating poverty can only be achieved through deliberate sacrifices towards areas of critical development indexes, health, education and pulling people out of poverty.

Upon my arrival in Abuja, I paid a visit to the construction site of the Anglican Hospital in Kubwa, which is a medium health facility being established by the Anglican diocese of Kubwa, after which I thanked the proprietor, Rt. Revd. Duke T. Akamisoko, for the great work he is doing and in my support of his noble initiative, I donated a sum of ₦10 million to advance his efforts.
Thereafter, I visited the Anglican Comprehensive Secondary School in Kubwa, established by the same diocese.
Again, education, as I have maintained,, is the most critical investment towards development.
To support the great work being done by the diocese, I donated another sum of ₦10 million.
Education, health and pulling people out of poverty remain the three most powerful tools for securing a better future for our children and our society. I remain committed to promoting each of them, as this is the most effective pathway to drastically developing our country.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO”
