During the presentation of the rice to the people from the five quarters of the community, Etiti, Umugama, Adagbe, Iruezeagu and Amagu, at the benefactor’s residence in the town, the President General of the community, Mr. Christopher Uba, said the gesture was aimed at reducing the hardship and to alleviate their plights.

He said that the philanthropist was moved to remember the less privileged at Yuletide, saying that it was a season of giving and showing love and “he love giving back to the society.”
