“I am always delighted to see people smile. Our fathers and mothers who are aging deserve our love and care. This is why I have resolved to place them on a monthly stipend of ₦20,000. By the special grace of God, I intend to extend this gesture to other local government areas,” he said.
He added that no contribution is too small when it comes to impacting lives positively:
“It is important for every one of us to make a meaningful impact in society. We must show compassion to the needy and create opportunities for them to live with dignity.”
Ambassador Abinu is widely celebrated for his numerous humanitarian interventions. He has sponsored thousands of students across Kogi State by paying for their Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examinations and has provided boreholes for several communities in Lokoja Local Government to ensure access to potable drinking water.
Expressing their appreciation, beneficiaries described the initiative as timely and life-saving.
