“I am always elated to give back to my people,” he said. “Whatever I am doing today has no ulterior motive. This is purely for humanity, and I will continue this service until my last breath on earth.”
He stressed that true humanitarian service requires sacrifice and consistency, noting that the wellbeing of the elderly remains a priority for him.
“These elderly ones have served society in their youthful years. Supporting them now is not a favour it is a responsibility,”he added. “My humanitarian activities will continue in Kogi State and beyond. Stopping is not an option.”
Amb. Abinu also appealed to wealthy individuals and corporate organisations to complement government efforts in improving the living conditions of vulnerable citizens.
“Government alone cannot do it,” he emphasized. “They need our support so the vulnerable in society can feel the true dividends of governance at the grassroots.”
He highlighted some of his previous interventions, including full scholarships for students and the construction of boreholes to provide clean water to underserved communities.
“I supported my students with free education through my scholarship programme, and I provided boreholes to ensure access to potable water. I am always happy doing this, and I will not stop,” he said.
Beneficiaries at the event expressed gratitude for Abinu’s continuous support, describing him as “a rare gift to the community” and “a consistent helper to the aged.
The empowerment scheme is expected to continue in the coming months as part of Abinu’s broader humanitarian outreach across Kogi State.
