No doubt, Ifeanyi Ubah, Chairman, Capital Oil, is generous to a fault. This top player in the nation’s oil and gas sector also has a large heart. Besides, he is unapologetically committed to the uplift of his community, while also helping the course of humanity. It is well known that the billionaire has the milk of kindness running in his veins.
As proof of his fellow-feeling, the senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District today commenced distribution of palliatives to families across the 21 local government areas in Anambra state.
As gathered the businessman gave out palliatives such as 26,000 bags of 5kg rice, 11,200 bags of 5kg garri, 9,400 cartons of tummy tummy noodles, 6,000 bottles of cooking oil, 32,000 bottles of hand sanitizers, 65,000 disposable face masks, 8,000 washable face masks, 2,000 bags of 25kg garri, 500 bags of 25kg rice, 42 thermometers and 62 tricycles.
While addressing the people, Ubah said:
‘’To the glory of God, as part of measures to alleviate the hardship and cushion the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic ravaging my people, I have commenced the distribution of palliatives to the good people of Anambra across the 21 Local Government Areas in our state.
I am aware that this is a deeply unsettling and difficult time for my people as the disruption of their daily sources of livelihood and economic activities have incurred a huge and devastating impact on their ability to meet their most basic needs. This necessitates the need to combine public health efforts with palliative measures so as to prevent hunger/food insecurity from creating further health and social challenges in our state.
While apologizing for my unavoidable absence, I wish to assure Anambrarians that I have provided capable hands and structures that will ensure equitable distribution of these palliatives across the nooks and crannies of Anambra.
I want to use this medium to thank the *Executive Governor of Anambra State; His Excellency, Chief Willie Obiano* for his commitment to tackling this enormous challenge with courage, resolve and exemplary determination.
I also wish to acknowledge the *Anambra Progressives* with profound gratitude, for selflessly volunteering their time and resources to our noble initiative that will provide a long lasting solution to the COVID-19 scourge and the post pandemic era; by the grace of God, our projects will be unveiled subsequently. Come what may, I will keep doing my best to touch lives positively irrespective of the precarious economic situation in the country.
Conclusively, I wish to urge the good people of Anambra to always remember to:
– Practice social distancing;
– Wash your hands regularly or use alcohol-based hand sanitizers;
– Avoid touching your face;
– Self-isolate if you have been in contact with a confirmed case
– Call the NCDC hotlines for Anambra State (08030953771, 08117567363 and 08145434416) if you notice symptoms;
– Above all, let us Keep praying for our state as well as remain disciplined in obeying the Authorities and keep trusting in God. In the end, we shall overcome!

Otunba Gbenga Daniel’s Free Eye Care Initiative: A Blessing for Ogun East- Story by Wale Onifade
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.
