“Pondering on your deeds and actions towards your efforts in giving palliative stimulus to the Ogun Youth Advocate, less privilege and vulnerable in our society, in cushioning the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, leaves one with feeling that indeed you are not only living on the earth but you are also wealth in God’s kingdom.”
