September 03, (THEWILL) – About a year after he gave the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State the sum of N100 million to cover his scholarship scheme in the institution, billionaire businessman and owner of Chisco Group, Chief Chidi Anyaegbu, otherwise known as Oké-Iyi Amichi, has donated a fully equipped hospital worth N100m to Amichi community in Anambra State.
The state-of-the-art hospital, which he built in memory of his late parents, Patrick and Angelina Anyaegbu, and named after them, will offer quality medical services to the residents of the community. Apart from that, income generated by the hospital, THEWILL gathered, will be re-invested in it.
The new hospital compliments Anyaegbu’s annual medical intervention in the health sector, the Chidi Anyaegbu Foundation Free Medical Mission, which is in its 7th edition and running, has continued to bring succour to the numerous health challenges of the people of Amichi and the state in general. On such occasions, he flies in dozens of medical personnel from abroad to provide free health care to individuals who are not able to afford the cost of such treatments.
The new hospital, no doubt, is in response to a call made by successive Anambra State Governments, for wealthy businessmen outside the state to bring home some of their investments and goodwill. However, individuals like Anyaegbu do not need prodding to invest in Anambra. This has since become his style, one that has spanned over 40years with the birth of Chisco Transport and other businesses all over the state. Some years ago, when he clocked 50, he built the Chisco Institute of Transport, Logistics and Management on the Nnamdi Azikiwe University campus.
