Philanthropist donates generator, cash to college

A Lagos-based Information Technology (IT) expert, Mr John Nwosu, has donated N500,000 and a generator to the Catholic Chaplaincy and College of Health Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Nnewi campus in Anambra State.
The philanthropist, who is an indigene of Nnewi, joined the students at the morning mass last Sunday inside the chaplaincy.
Nwosu, said he was happy to join the students, who he referred to as “new breeds and leaders of tomorrow”. He enjoined the m to strive for excellence and avoid shortcuts, stressing that there was no shortcut to success.
Charging them to be good ambassadors of the university, the IT expert warned medical students not to become willing tools in the hands of “wicked politicians,” especially as the Anambra State bovernorship election drew close.
“I am impressed by your conduct. It proves to me that all hope is not lost in our country. It clearly demonstrates that with people like you, our hope to transform our country through our state and our universities has started in earnest,” he said.
Nwosu donated the generating set to the chaplaincy when he was informed that services were conducted with the personal generator of the priest in charge.
Making the N500,000 donation to the college, Nwosu promised to bring influential Nnewi indigenes to join hands in lifting the facilities of the college.
Noting that public institutions now carry out projects through public-private partnership,he said individuals must show willingness to assist government-owned institutions to achieve excellence.
The priest in charge of the chaplaincy, Reverend Father Jude Chukwuneke, harped on the need for people to show love among themselves.
