For his humanitarian interventions, Delta State Commissioner for Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, has bagged a Humanitarian Award under the balcony of a non-profit organisation, Fahuf International Foundation.
This was during a courtesy visit by the NGO, on Monday May 8th 2023, at his office in Asaba, the State capital.
In his remarks, the spokesperson of the State government called on youths to expand the frontiers of national development.
He said they should explore the boundless opportunities in the country, rather than seeking illegitimate means to migrate to other climes where the grass may not be greener.
Aniagwu commended the group for leading the cause in addressing issues affecting humanity and alleviating the predicaments of vulnerable persons at the grassroots.
‘’I am encouraged by your intervention. I know that you are not rich; yet, from the little you have, you have been able to make sacrifices in visiting and seeking help to reach out to those who would benefit from your generosity.
“For me, this is something that I am excited about.
‘’Some young people are thinking of escaping from the country. This attitude means that they have lost hope. But for those who have demonstrated hope, like you have done, the best thing we can do is to encourage them to succeed,” Aniagwu said.
Earlier, the International Director of the Fahuf Foundation, Freda Akpabio, informed the commissioner of their Back-To-School Project, aimed at assisting indigent students with the resources and tools to excel academically.
While highlighting the activities and achievements of the foundation, Akpabio acknowledged the outstanding contributions of Mr. Aniagwu in the state, just as she honoured him as a patron and mentor of the foundation.
