The Former Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget and Chief of Staff in the Peter Obi Administration, Prof. Chinyere Stella Okunna, has said that contrary to the predominant view among the people, Mr. Peter Obi actually did as much in Health as in Education during his tenure as Governor.
Okunna who was the Chairman of State Good Governance Committee and Chairman of the State MDGs Implementation Committee recalled that the Good Governance Committee had recommended intense attention to these three sectors, but without neglecting other sectors in line with the state’s development strategy ANIDS, which ensured simultaneous development of all sector.
Speaking further, Okunna said it was because of what Obi did in the health sector that he won many awards that had monetary values, the last of which was the 1 million Dollars Bill and Melinda Gates award with which, in addition to his own matching funds, he built 10 Health care centres in 10 remotest parts of the State.
