The outreach was warmly received, with beneficiaries expressing joy and gratitude for the timely support.

Community members described the gesture as timely and impactful, noting that such acts of kindness help strengthen communal bonds and promote shared responsibility for social welfare.

He also announced plans to launch the Limre Global Initiative, a platform aimed at expanding his humanitarian interventions and reaching more people in need.
He noted that he has been doing this for past ten years when he said “I have been giving rice to widows for the past Ten years now. Each year, since I cultivate rice, I usually instruct my sister to mill a 100 kg bag and share to some widows. This year, since I have delved into processing, bagging and selling rice, I decided that the profit made from this December sales, I should bag the rice in 5kg to enable me reach out to these widows. I gave rice to widows in Ogoja more than 20 persons, in Obudu urban, I reached to more than Ten persons and other places”.
