Ned Nwoko’s Wondrous Gift to His Community

Published

on

Billionaire businessman and politician Ned Nwoko is a man who does not dance to the rhythm of mass hysteria. He is literally a phantom of delight; like a moment’s apparition poised to become numero uno philanthropist.  The prince of Idumuje-Igboko has warmed himself into the hearts of his people on account of his selfless service to humanity, humility, tact, sophistication and godly traits and his desire to develop his community.

It is an incontrovertible fact that he loves his people with a passion. So enthralled to his people is the prince of Idumuje-Igboko that he invested heavily in his hometown. His voracious love for people cannot be quantified.

For instance, he is currently building a sports university in the serene  community of Idumuje-Igboko, Delta State known as Stars University. It is a statement of fact to say that sports education is one of the critical areas in a nation’s economic development. The Stars University which is the acronym for Sports Technology and Arts University will offer professional first degree certificate in sports-related fields.

The multi-million dollar project upon completion will boast of a three-floor academic building, top-scale art library, medical centres, Olympic-size swimming pool, and standard pitches for football, hockey and baseball. The university will also have a five-star hotel.

Ned is also constructing a golf course known as Ned Nwoko Golf Classic in Idumuje-Ugboko, Delta State.

Prince Ned Nwoko who represented Aniocha North-South and Oshimili North-South in the House of Representatives between 1999 and 2003 did not stop there, over a hundred university students are currently benefitting from his scholarship scheme. Last year, he spent over N600 million on scholarships for students in universities in Nigeria and abroad.

He doled out N100 million to construct the four-kilometer Onicha Ugbo/Idumuje Ugboko road and spent over N30 million on medical bills for those afflicted with different ailments.

The likeable bloke is a British-trained lawyer who began his legal career as a prosecutor for the crown and qualified as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales. He worked at Kumars Solicitors and Pascaldiers & Co Solicitors before establishing Ned Nwoko & Co Solicitors in London. He returned to Nigeria to continue with his career.

All of these did not come easy; it was as a result of hard work, dedication, doggedness and perseverance.

Recently, there had been a campaign of calumny against Ned Nwoko, that he forcefully took over hectares of land belonging to peasant farmers in his community for his golf course project without adequately compensating them. According to Ned, this is unfounded and a tissue of lies. He added that he has the Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) of the said land and compensated all the farmers that had crops on the land adding that he was willing to compensate any other persons who have genuine claims.

He further said that this development had nothing to do with the golf course, instead it revolved around some youths who went on rampage and killed two people.

“The issue is not about the golf course, it is about some criminals who killed two people, injured over 100 defenceless people, and destroyed their homes and properties. They are currently facing various criminal charges in Federal High Court, Abuja after thorough investigations by the police and the human rights commission.”

TheGazelleNews, a leading online newspaper, is set to honour elder statesman and one of Nigeria’s most respected politicians, Prince Tajudeen Oluyole Olusi, Chairman of the Lagos State Governance Advisory Council (GAC), with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at its Annual Public Lecture and Award Night.

The event is scheduled for Thursday, December 5, 2024, at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Isaac John Street, GRA, Ikeja, Lagos.

This year’s lecture, themed “Poverty Alleviation: Fantasies, Expectations, and Realities of People’s Empowerment,” aims to foster insightful discussion on critical socio-economic issues facing the country.

In recognition of his lifetime of exemplary service, leadership, and dedication to Lagos State and Nigeria, Prince Olusi will be celebrated as one of the nation’s most revered statesmen.

A royal prince from the Akinsemoyin and Ado Royal Families of Lagos, Prince Olusi has been a steadfast figure in Nigeria’s political landscape for decades. His public service journey began as a councillor at the Lagos City Council, and he later represented Lagos Island in the House of Representatives during Nigeria’s Second Republic.

Prince Olusi also served as a Commissioner under the administration of Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, demonstrating commitment, integrity, and wisdom throughout his career.

Today, as Chairman of the influential GAC, Prince Olusi stands as one of the most respected and influential political figures not only in Lagos but also in the entire landscape of Nigeria, guiding policy and advising leaders with a steady hand. His contributions have helped shape Lagos’s political landscape, and his principled leadership has earned him admiration across all spheres of government.

The Lifetime Achievement Award is a distinction previously awarded to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, who was the inaugural recipient of the award.

This prestigious honour reflects the values and legacy that Prince Olusi exemplifies: enduring dedication to public service, unwavering commitment to community welfare, and an inspiring vision for a better Nigeria.

In anticipation of the award, the organizers of TheGazelleNews public lecture have expressed their pride in recognizing Prince Olusi’s contributions, describing him as “a man whose life and career symbolize leadership, excellence, and commitment to the people.”

This award is a tribute not only to his achievements but to his enduring influence on the nation’s political scene.

In the heart of Ogun East Senatorial District, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, a former governor of Ogun State and the founder of the Gateway Front Foundation, has made significant strides in improving the lives of his constituents through various humanitarian initiatives. Among these, the Free Eye Care Initiative stands out as a beacon of hope for many residents who struggle with vision impairment and other eye-related issues.

 

Launched under the auspices of the Gateway Front Foundation, the Free Eye Care Initiative is designed to provide comprehensive eye care services to underserved communities. This program offers free eye examinations, consultations, and surgeries for those in need, eliminating financial barriers that often prevent individuals from accessing essential healthcare.

 

The initiative targets both rural and urban areas within Ogun East, reaching out to individuals who might otherwise go without necessary medical attention. By partnering with healthcare professionals and eye specialists, the initiative ensures that high-quality care is delivered directly to the community, fostering a sense of trust and reliability among the constituents.

 

The impact of the Free Eye Care Initiative has been profound. Many residents who previously faced challenges due to poor eyesight have reported significant improvements in their quality of life. From students struggling to read in classrooms to elderly individuals unable to perform daily tasks, the initiative has transformed lives by restoring sight and, consequently, dignity.

 

Feedback from beneficiaries has highlighted the importance of such programs. For many, the ability to see clearly has not only enhanced personal well-being but has also boosted productivity in various sectors, including education and agriculture. Families that previously had to allocate funds for expensive eye care now find relief, allowing them to redirect their resources toward other pressing needs.

 

Otunba Gbenga Daniel’s commitment to humanitarian causes extends beyond eye care. The Gateway Front Foundation has initiated numerous projects aimed at alleviating poverty, improving education, and enhancing healthcare in Ogun State. These initiatives demonstrate a holistic approach to community development, focusing on empowering the common man and addressing systemic issues that hinder progress.

 

Programs such as vocational training, health outreach, and educational scholarships have complemented the eye care initiative, showcasing Daniel’s dedication to uplifting the community. By investing in the welfare of the constituents, he has fostered a spirit of hope and resilience among the people of Ogun East.

 

As the Free Eye Care Initiative continues to grow, there are plans to expand its reach and services. Increasing awareness about eye health, preventive measures, and regular screenings are crucial to sustaining the positive outcomes of this program. The Gateway Front Foundation aims to integrate educational components into its services, ensuring that constituents understand the importance of eye care and maintain regular check-ups.

 

Otunba Gbenga Daniel’s Free Eye Care Initiative has emerged as a transformative force in Ogun East, reflecting a commitment to the welfare of the community. By addressing a critical healthcare need, he has not only improved the lives of many but has also set a precedent for humanitarian efforts across Ogun State. The initiative exemplifies how targeted interventions can create meaningful change, offering a model for similar projects in other regions. As the foundation continues its work, the hope is that many more will benefit from these essential services, further solidifying Daniel’s legacy as a champion for the common man.
