In a social media post, Mr. Mayor Lucky Igbokwe aka Don Lulu, a philanthropist and an entertainment mogul – founder of the Foundation, said he is so happy to have put smiles on the faces of the indigent Abia citizens.

According to him, the empowerment was made possible through the six hundred million Naira (N600,000,000,00) mobilized by donors via the Don Lulu Foundation to assist and empower rural women and Youths in the state.

In the statement, Don Lulu noted that yesterday’s graduands are the first batch of the programme, assuring that other batches will come next.

skills.

“They were also mobilized and assisted to set up their own farms.

“It’s my little contribution to the good people of Abia state to help alleviate and elevate themselves and families from biting poverty.

“I’m also grateful to God that we could touch lives and put smiles on their faces.

“I’m most specially grateful to the Oba of Ekeoba who provided hectares of free land to kickstart the initiative. Hopefully, we intend to spread the joy across the 3 senatorial zones in the state.

“Thanks to all the royal fathers who were present and gave us their moral support, the supportive trainers, coordinators and everyone else involved in this
philanthropy.

May God bless us all.
