Reno Omokri recently challenged Peter Obi, questioning his achievements in education as the former governor of Anambra State and offering $10,000 to anyone who could prove Obi initiated and completed a new school project during his tenure. Obi acknowledged that he did not build new schools but instead prioritized revitalizing existing infrastructure. He emphasized how his administration returned missionary schools to their original owners, provided significant funding, and implemented reforms that elevated Anambra State from 26th to 1st place in national education rankings.
Separately, Obi has been actively investing in education, including a reported ₦100 million donation to Dominican University in Ibadan. This aligns with his consistent focus on enhancing educational quality through targeted investments rather than unnecessary infrastructure duplication.
This response demonstrates Obi’s preference for optimizing resources and addressing systemic needs rather than symbolic projects, a governance style that some supporters view as pragmatic and impactful.
