During this festive period, a popular UK based Nigerian blogger Maureen Badejo has collaborated with the GIO TV foundation Partners to help the less privileged and needy in Ode Aye Community, Okitipupa Local Government Area in Ondo State.
The CEO of GIO TV, Maureen, stated that the goal is to provide the elderly, less privileged, and widows in the community with food items such as rice, beans, gari, salt, Maggi, and indomie.
Maureen Badejo said the programme will commence on December 30, 2022, at the residence of High Chief Josiah Akinrinlola Nejo, the late Petu of Aye Kingdom, 500 youths will be fed with food and drinks in a get-together party that would be entertained by a DJ.
Maureen gave reasons why she is into charity and said:
“I am not a politician and I can’t be. I am just doing this to assist my people at home. I need to support the weak, the widows, the elderly men and women, and the less privileged in my town. We did it last year by giving out food items to over 400 people in Ode Aye, my home town. This year is the second edition. We have procured many bags of rice, beans and garri with plenty of cartons of indomie, salt and Maggi to support them.
“I am similarly planning to sponsor the education of two persons in my town who are ready to study Nursing and Medicine abroad. This will be announced during the programme with the modalities. So I am using this medium to invite my people to attend this programme at the same venue we used last year”. She added.
