Poverty alleviation: Group urges Tinubu to tap into nation’s potentials

A Non-Profit organization, Okehebunor Foundation (OF), has raised concern over the untapped potentials domiciled in several communities across the country.

To this end, the foundation urged President Bola Tinubu to, as a matter of urgency, bring in experts that would tap the potentials, to reduce the pains of Nigerian masses who are currently wallowing in abject poverty.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO), of the Foundation, Mr. Samuel Okehebunor, gave the advice while unveiling the foundation in Asaba, Delta State. Okehebunor lamented that the Federal Government and other stakeholders had, indeed, abandoned the nation’s potentials in various communities, a development he attributed to the cause of poverty in the land.

He said, however, that the foundation would provide ample opportunities for people to thrive, both unreached and marginalised communities, through education, healthcare and sustainable development initiatives.

On the overview of the Foundation, he said that it was a dynamic value-driven and action-oriented organisation established to empower lives, transform communities and reshape society.

He said that the foundation has formidable team of expertise and professionals,  governed by Board of Directors who are committed to achieving the objective of the organization for global advocacy for integrity, hope and transformation.

The foundation thematic focus  areas  include health awareness, youth and women empowerment, good governance and  leadership, he added.

Earlier, the Executive Chairman of Ika North East Local Government Area, Hon. Monday Odigwe, commended the founder of OF for the initiative, urging well meaning individuals  to always give back to the society no matter how little it might be.

Also speaking, the Technical Consultant, Okehebunor Foundation, Augusta Keneboh explained that as the Global Director of Africanist inclusion in Diaspora, Okehebunor operates on global stage, demonstrating a strategic brilliance for impactful policy changes and galvanizing support for African across continent.
