Aguleri in Anambra State witnessed a historic moment as Peter Obi and Prophet Ebuka Obi came together to officially open a free psychiatric hospital for the community. The initiative has been widely praised as a bold step toward addressing Nigeria’s growing mental health needs.

The hospital, which will provide treatment at no cost, is designed to give hope to individuals and families struggling with psychiatric conditions. Speaking at the event, Peter Obi highlighted the importance of mental health in nation-building, reminding Nigerians that a society cannot thrive if its people are weighed down by untreated mental challenges.

Prophet Ebuka Obi, the founder of Zion Prayer Movement Outreach, described the project as a humanitarian mission dedicated to saving lives and restoring dignity. He emphasized that the hospital is not just a building but a lifeline for those who often suffer in silence.

The commissioning ceremony drew a large crowd of community members, traditional rulers, and well-wishers who hailed the collaboration as a blessing for Aguleri and beyond. With this milestone, Anambra has become home to a facility that could set the pace for mental health care across Nigeria.
