Chairman of Heirs Holdings and founder of Tony Elumelu
Foundation, Mr. Tony Elumelu, has donated N2.5bn to communities affected by
terrorism in the country at the Presidential fund-raising dinner held on
Thursday in Abuja.
. The president while addressing the audience encouraged them
to give back to the society, explaining that terror victims need the funds at
the moment.
“Do not forget the victims of terror and donate generously
with cheques, cash, online with credit cards, or via your mobile phone. Every
widow’s mite will be appreciated. We cannot deviate from the spirit of good
neighbourliness that defines us as Nigerians. The terrorists have succeeded in
uniting us as they are enemies of all,” he said.
Public and private sector leaders in attendance made a total donation of N60bn.
