Awka – Gov. Willie Obiano of Anambra has resolved to donate his salaries to the less privileged members of the society in the state.

Obiano said in Awka on Monday that he had sent a written instruction to his Principal Secretary, Mr Willie Nwokoye, to implement his wish with immediate effect.


“I have been donating it to the church since I became a governor,” he said.



He said that giving help to the less privileged in the society, through properly structured charity organisations, would make for more impact.

“After spending many fruitful years in leadership positions in the private sector, I earn enough pensions to sustain the needs of my modest family.

“So, I felt that my salary will be more useful if it puts a smile on the faces of some underprivileged members of society to whom the smallest amount of money will make a huge difference.’’

The governor added that he and his wife had always been deeply involved in charity and philanthropic activities, long before they went into public life.

He said that his administration had always carved out a place for the underprivileged members of the society.

The governor said that they had always award scholarships to physically challenged students in the state and set up rehabilitation centre for the destitute.

“We have picked up many destitute, including mentally challenged people whom we reunited with their families after healing and rehabilitating them.

“We shall continue to lend a helping hand to people in need as long as the Lord provides us with the resources and the good health to remember our obligations to Him,” he said.

Barely a week ago, Obiano and his wife handed out 200 prosthetic limbs to physically challenged people.

The gesture, he said, was in continuation of his elaborate effort to give meaning to the lives of the needy Nigerians.

Thats my governor.People really needs to start praying so they get a performing and compensate governor like willie not blaming the federal govt for every mishap in your state

Willie ls Working

This is a good one if it truly gets to the REAL poor people. Give the people good governance and the number of the poor will reduce.

Isn't that a good news??
I challenge how many governors can do it??
Well-done sire...
Biafra will remember the good gesture rendered to his people... Its first son for that matter...


Willie I working damn

he don try

Abeg tell him to Cut down on d expenses on wchich d government is been run... that way many people will benefit

If we can have governors like Obiano in the east the east will be a much better region in the next ten years

Hm. I jos dey look dis man

When u have a governor. Ready to follow the footprint of Mr Peter Obi.

Not some qualified lazy janjaweedz, blaming GEJ for everything.

Nice one but give less and steal more

And who says change ain't in town Nigeria will surely move forward even though some people are praying for the downfall of this administration cuz of the hatred they got in them.... I pray they are all disappointed at the end of this tenure, and we all shall be proud of Nigeria again.

Ok, we need light in umuleri and aguleri now or never.

How can there be no light for more three years and nothing done from your end. What nonsense is this ?

No matter how small and political it may be, kai bros u try....kados

Giving is not about the amount but rather the intention.

Given that he makes so much ordinarily as a governor, releasing his monthly salary in total to the less priveledged is still indeed unheard of in our clime.

Kudos.

Scam! Donating salary while treasury is being looted

Salary is chicken change. Allowance nko?

commendable!!!.

unlike our state where toll gate booty is being given to the rich.

A good move, however, a functional vocational center across the LGs will make more impact
We have a Leader in Anambra State, If Biafra existed today Mr Obiano will be my first pick for the President

Is this really for real Anyway i have every right to belive this even though Nigerian politicians have made it look as if every political office holder is a criminal. But the truth still remains that there are individuals who have the heart of giving
