"Giving succour to the less privileged in the society not only comes with a sense of fulfillment but also gives the less privileged a sense of belonging and justice.
“The society must not sit by and watch a very significant part of it to languish in despair. At the individual level, let us make everyone count. As a country, let us make every part of Nigeria count. That way, there will be peace and development,” the deputy Senate president added.
