A business mogul from Anambra State, Chief Emmanuel Chinonso Ezeoba has said he would soon launch an foundation geared towards fighting poverty, one key focus of Sustainable Development goals (SDG).
Ezeoba, in a statement obtained by us, stated that the foundation would be used for upliftment of the needy, downtrodden in the society, education and empowerment of brilliant poor indigent pupils and students.
The philanthropist, while emphasising that he was committed to realising the United Nations Sustainable development Goals in making the world a better place, reechoed that "Eradicating poverty splacetask of charity, it's an act of justice and the key to unlocking an enormous human potential.
" Still, nearly half of the world’s population lives in poverty, and lack of food and clean water is killing thousands every single day of the year. Together, we can feed the hungry, wipe out disease and give everyone in the world a chance to prosper and live a productive and rich life."
He reassured Anambra populace that his foundation would also partner with the federal and state governments to give hope to the needy by ensuring that the special and talented individuals who lack the financial capacity to live up to their dream do not give up.
