A socio-political association, the Igbo Union Nzuko Ndi Igbo has commended the Chief Executive Officer of Primewest Estate and the President of Prince Jeff Ukachukwu Foundation. Prince Jeff Ukachukwu (Okenwa N’Omuma) for his multimillion-naira youths and women empowerment programme to the people of Orlu and its environs in Imo State.
A press statement by the Convener of Igbo Union Nzuko Ndi Igbo, Prince Elias Odoemena, and made available to journalists in Abuja on Monday, highlighted how Prince Ukachukwu began his philanthropic journey with the payment of school fees, buying of books and school uniforms to the less privileged children in Orlu, Imo State, including the empowerment of indigent youths and women in the society with millions of naira.
While thanking Prince Ukachukwu for his humanitarian gestures to the downtrodden in the society, and being a source of inspiration to the youths and the less privileged in the society, Prince Odoemena called on other rich Nigerians to emulate Prince Ukachukwu by following the path of philanthropy as a means of lifting poor Nigerians out of poverty.
He added that “the children you give a scholarship and help today may not easily join a bad gang tomorrow, but rather would turn out to be doctors, lawyers, and engineers tomorrow.”
