As part of her usual Benedicta’s Market Women Money, members of Team Dr. Uyi Igbinadolor for Asue/Ogie led by the chairman of Etsako East Local Government Council, Benedicta Attoh, distributed N10,000 each to traders in Agenebode main market.
The National Coordinator of the Dr. Igbinadolor support group, Chief Jude Ogbekile, said the fund was to support the market women in their businesses and urged the beneficiaries who were randomly picked in the market to utilise the funds judiciously and pray for the donor.
Addressing the women, the council Chairman introduced Dr. Uyi Igbinadolor as the donor of the N300,000 for 30 women, which they are in the market to distribute as a lifeline to support the poorest of the poor in the society due to the high level hunger caused by the inhumane policies of the Federal Government. More of the women will be captured in other zones of the local government in the next few days, she said.
She described the lifeline support as one that is offering hope, dignity, reducing poverty, promoting self-sustainability and development, and called on public-spirited men and women to emulate the Edo-born United States-based medical practitioner, Dr. Uyi Igbinadolor, by extending helping hands to those that need help the most in the society. She said charitable donations play a significant role in poverty alleviation, especially in rural communities.
Hon. (Princess) Benedicta Attoh further expressed gratitude to Sir Tonna Okei, a brother and friend, also based in the United States, who she said facilitated the donation, saying Dr. Igbinadolor has a track record of always putting smiles on the faces of the downtrodden in the society. She assured that the distribution of financial support to the downtrodden across various markets in Etsako East Local Government will continue in Okpekpe, Imiegba and Okpella markets, respectively within the week.
