“This is a call to action to continue to celebrate our great country; raise up your flag today, Independence Day—also, a call to action to President Tinubu’s administration for his agenda of hope,” said Ms Ademokun.
The NIDOA executive stated further, “We need to really need to Hope: H-harness, O-opportunities, P-poverty, E- eradication in Nigeria and help lift people out of poverty through sustainable programmes, jobs, and restoring the economy and help to the most vulnerable poor.”
She said NIDOA South Savanna had been contributing its quota by supporting the less privileged in Nigeria and supporting student communities in the U.S.
Ms Ademokun added, “Recently, we partnered with Linkway diplomats and Calvary school, and we gave out seven scholarships totalling 700,000, 100,000 (each) to seven students.
“We have partnered with the Brazilian Development Initiative RADI foundation in southern Kaduna to help internally displaced persons (IDPs), orphans and farmers to make sure that they get agricultural products.”
