Foundation Earmarks N20m For Poverty Eradication
A Niger Delta based non- governmental organisation, Jack-Rich Tein Aid Foundation has earmarked the sum of N20 million yearly to tackle poverty in Kalabari land.
The foundation chairman, Mr. Jack-Rich Tein (Jnr) said this in an interview with newsmen at Buguma headquarters in Asari Toru Local Government Area during the distribution of five hundred bags of rice and cash to less privileged persons from the three local government areas of Kalabari kingdom which are Degema, Asair Toru and Akuku Toru local government areas.
Mr. Tein said that the programme which covers the 33 communities in the three local government areas will be used to assist most families which members live below the poverty line.
He said that the affected communities will be made to form groups while experts will be send to educate and impact the necessary skills to them.
He emphasised that, the vice and cash distribution at Buguma was a stop gap measure that was meant to benefit only the physically challenged, orphans, widows, the elderly and other less privileged persons in the area.
Also speaking, the chairman of Asari Toru local government area, Hon. Ojukaye Flag Amachree commended the move to identify with the less privileged in the society, and called on other public-spirited persons to emulate the gesture.
A cross section of beneficiaries commended Mr. Jack-Rich Tein (Jnr) for the gesture and urged him to sustain it.
