Nze Ezeakunne Foundation has empowered four persons with shuttle buses, gave out bags of rice to the less privileged and commissioned Ezeakunne Bus Terminal in Onneh, Orumba South council area of Anambra state.
Angel Network News reports that the empowerment exercise which is an annual event took place at the residence of the founder of the foundation, Chief Vincent Nwankwo at Umuezeamasi village.
The beneficiaries of the shuttle buses and rice were selected from the four villages in the community.
The Transition Committee Chairman of Orumba South Local government area, Prince Neville Uchendu said Chief Nwankwo and his likes are living a life that Governor Chukwuma Soludo admires, putting smiles on the faces of people through empowerment which he noted, is the greatest thing one can do for a human being and urged him not to relent.
Prince Uchendu noted that when people are empowered they are delivered from engaging in vices and added that Orumba South council area is one of the greatest beneficiaries of Governor Soludo’s administration.
The founder of Nze Ezeakunne Foundation, Chief Nwankwo disclosed that his reason for carrying out the good deeds is because doing good has rewards and advised people to endeavour to emulate good deeds but shun evil which he said has terrible consequences in after life.
Chief Nwankwo also admonished beneficiaries of his annual largesse to put it to judicious use and encouraged those who did not benefit not to lose hope as their turn will come some other time.
For a childhood friend of Chief Nwankwo, Comrade Austin Nwafor, the empowerment exercise is an annual event which the benefactor has been doing over the years giving hope to the hopeless.
The National President of Ultima Business Women and Farmers Association of Nigeria, Lady Nkiru Nwagbo said Onneh community is blessed to have a man like Chief Nwankwo who is wealthy and as well has a liberal heart and noted that the prayers of mothers and those he is impacting on their lives will keep protecting him.
Later the benefactor accompanied by the TC Chairman of the council area, Prince Uchendu and others went to the newly built Ezeakunne Bus Terminal to commission it.
Presentation of the shuttle buses, bags of rice and the commissioning of the bus terminal brought the event to a climax.
