In a heartwarming display of philanthropy, President Bola Tinubu’s Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Protocol, Ambassador Issah Niniola, has empowered widows in Osun State with sum of 2.5 million naira.
This is even as Niniola graded several community roads in Olorunda Local Government Area of Osun State to ease suffering occasioned by potholes and difficult transportation in order to further improve on the overall quality of life of residents in the area.
The presidential aide also distributed rams and cash as Sallah gifts to residents of Osogbo Federal Constituency.
The gesture for the widows was in response to their plea to support their Cooperative Thrift initiative, as the beneficiaries expressed their profound gratitude, describing Niniola’s support as true manifestation of renewed hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
They praised Niniola’s kindness and generosity, saying that his gesture is a reflection of his avowed commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of Nigerians particularly the downtrodden.
Showering encomiums on the benefactor, the head of the windows’ group, Mrs. Oladosu Basirat, said Niniola’s genuine commitment to the advancement of humanity has brought joy and relief to many of the members of the Cooperative society.
Mrs. Oladosu pledged judicious use of the fund noting that it would further help to stimulate the beneficiaries’ source of livelihoods.
She added: “We want to commend him for this support, which means a lot to us. This gesture has really helped our members to scale up their businesses and meet the end needs. Our prayer is that God Almighty would continue to be with him and soar him higher far above human imagination.
“To continuously advance the cause of the masses particularly widows and less-privileged in the society, we are appealing to well-meaning Nigerians to emulate this noble initiative for a better Nigeria.”
Other beneficiaries extolled Niniola’s high sense of generosity and concerns to humanity.
According to them, Niniola’s philanthropic efforts have been widely praised by residents of Osun State particularly those that couldn’t hide it.
They described the initiative as a welcome development aimed at rescuing windows from hardship accessioned by their current situation.
In his words, Ambassador Niniola noted that the road grading exercise was carried out to improve the overall quality of life for residents in Ward 8, Olorunda Local Government Area.
He expressed his readiness to provide more relief and succour to the people irrespective of their political lining.
Residents of the Olorunda Local Government Area had earlier commended Niniola’s efforts, saying that his gesture is a reflection of his commitment to improving the lives of Nigerians.
Ambassador Niniola had served as Director of Protocol to Mr President before he retired from active service and later appointed as SSA Protocol to Mr President.
