"Got tagged last night by Samantha Joseph and others informing me about a young graduate Daniel who secured a job in Asaba. He came into Asaba and had no shelter. He has been sleeping on the floor and had no money to rent accommodation or pay for a hotel."
"Earlier today, I reached out to him and directed him to my office, later took him to a Hotel and paid for 7 days till my agent secure an apartment for him. A bed sitter in Asaba is not more than N200,000. Haven paid N56,000 for his temporal shelter and N10,000 for feeding, I wil also be supporting his rent with extra N50,000 for his accommodation."
How I was disappointed by a friend when I got to Asaba
When Legit.ng contacted Daniel, he said he had planned to stay with a friend in the city, but that he got disappointed when he was already in town. He said the friend told him it won't be possible to accommodate him.
According to him, he passed the night on the floor with the Keke Marwa rider that carried him in the evening. His words:
"I had employment in Asaba and I was stranded when I got there because the person I wanted staying with disappointed me. He ain't taking my calls but texted me that the family is around. I was stranded on Sunday evening."
Daniel, an electrical electronics graduate of Heritage Polytechnic, Eket said he is very grateful to Mr Harrison who favoured him.
