President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commended the Sir Emeka Offor Foundation for its initiative to distribute medical and nursing books to tertiary health institutions across Nigeria.
The foundation, established by Nigerian oil magnate and philanthropist Emeka Offor, undertook the programme following a request from the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare.
According to officials, the foundation facilitated the procurement and shipment of 10 containers of current medical and nursing textbooks and journals from the United States to Nigeria.
The educational materials are scheduled to be distributed to tertiary medical institutions across the six geopolitical zones of the country to strengthen medical education and research capacity.
In a statement issued by the President’s Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu described the initiative as a significant contribution toward improving healthcare education and academic development in Nigeria.
The President said the donation would help enhance learning resources available to students and professionals in the health sector, thereby strengthening institutional capacity.
Tinubu also expressed appreciation to Offor, who serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Chrome Group, for his continued commitment to philanthropic activities that support education, healthcare and human capital development.
He further encouraged the philanthropist to sustain his support for initiatives that contribute to national development and improve access to quality education and healthcare services.
