Awha Ndiagu
It was a
clear display of generosity and love, as renowned businessman and philanthropist,
Chief Onyebuchi Henry Ozo popularly known as Ozo Benhen donated food items and
doled out cash as palliatives to support his people cushion the hardship
brought about by the corona virus pandemic.
The food
items which include mini bags of rice and cartons of indomie, were handed over
to the people at the townhall of Awha Ndiagu in Ezeagu LGA of Enugu State.
The brief
ceremony reflected the love which Ozo Benhen has for his people and his people’s
appreciation of his genuine interest for their wellbeing as he went round the
hall on arrival to touch base with his people.
Presenting
the items, Ozo Benhen said the gesture was pure borne out of the desire to
touch the lives of his people and help them overcome the challenges of the
time.
In his
words, “When God gives us wealth, it is to be used for the benefit of humanity
and what I am doing is just my own way of giving back to the society. Awha
Ndiagu is a blessed town but many of our illustrious sons are afraid to bring
back their wealth to impact their people.
“I use this
opportunity to appeal to them to heed the clarion call to contribute towards
the growth and development of Awha Ndiagu. Together, we will make our community
great. I will on my own continue to do my best to ensure that my people are
comfortable. That is my agreement with my God and I won’t stop,” he said.
Some of the
beneficiaries who spoke at the event, Messres Simon Chiama and Obiorah Omeri
expressed appreciation to Ozo Benhen for the gesture and described him as a
good man with a large heart.
According to
them, “This is what we have been lacking in our community-people who will take
the bull by the horn and work for the emancipation of our people. Ozo Benhen
has been a worthy son of Awha Ndiagu. Aside the numerous projects he has done
for people, whenever he comes to the town, there is always an air of joy and
happiness because of the kind of things he does. We pray that God will reward
him immensely.”
While noting
that a tree does not make a forest, the duo called on other hi-networth sons
and daughters of Awha Ndiagu to rally round him to achieve his lofty vision for
the community.
