Peter Obi’s Pledge of ₦15 Million for Yelewata Massacre Survivors and Nursing College

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, has pledged ₦15 million for survivors of the Yelewata massacre and a nursing college, according to Premium Times Nigeria. During his visit to Benue, Obi had already pledged ₦10 million for orphaned children’s education and ₦5 million for a borehole. These latest pledges come in the wake of the tragic massacre that occurred in Yelewata, a farming community in Nasarawa state, which left several people dead and many more displaced. According to local reports, the funds will be used to establish a nursing college for survivors of the attack and support their recovery. This promising development, while still awaiting confirmation from Obi’s campaign team, indicates a commitment to addressing the needs of the affected community in a tangible and meaningful way. However, the exact details of the implementation of these pledges remain unclear.
