Dabiri-Erewa has applauded the efforts of Nigerian-Camadian, Ms Vivian Etuka who visited IDP Camp and Orphanages in Abuja with food items, clothes, toys and books for their welfare and wellbeing.
Speaking shortly after receiving Etuka, who is the founder and CEO, of Bethel
Outreach Community Services in Abuja, the NiDCOM boss urged other Diasporas individually
and collectively to emulate Ms Etuka’s passion and commitment towards
helping the less endowed and privileged in the society.
Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa said the act of hers clearly shows the kind,
brotherly nature of Nigerians, irrespective of tribe and religion.
The NiDCOM Chairman recalled that she had the privilege of meeting
Etuka, who also runs a shelter home for homeless immigrants in Ontario,
during her visit to Brampton where she met with stranded Nigerians in
Camps last year seeking asylum.
Ms Vivian Etuka, thanked the NiDCOM Chairman for her assistance in
making the project a reality.
According to her, she is very passionate towards the needy; hence a
reason to start a charity group back home.
While receiving the palliatives, Mr. Ibrahim Amodu, the Durumi IDP Camp
Chairman, thanked the NGO for their kind gesture, as they are in dire
need of these relief items.
Also, Hajia Zainab Basah, Home Supervisor of Halal Children’s Home, Life
Camp, appreciated the NGO, who sacrificed their resources to bring
succour and happiness to the faces of children and commended NIDCOM Boss
for her facilitation and love for the less endowed.
Goods donated by the Charity Organisation were new clothings, food
items, new beddings/blankets, toys and educational materials for
children who have been out of school for over a year.
Bethel Outreach Community Services is a Charitable Organisation based in
Canada which provides hope and humanitarian assistance to refugees,
asylum seekers and the less endowed.
