The Ologodidan Jezi Foundation (OJF Global) yesterday honoured President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Mr Bernard Mohammed Doro, at the second edition of its Food Drive initiative. The event, held at Eagles Square, Abuja, was part of the foundation’s ongoing efforts to reduce poverty and expand humanitarian services across Nigeria.
Mr Tunde Doherty, Chairman of the UK Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC UK), represented the minister at the event. He acknowledged the foundation’s role in promoting humanitarian initiatives nationwide and commended the organisers for their sustained efforts to alleviate poverty.
Doherty urged participants to support the Tinubu administration, noting that the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation under Mr Doro would continue to back programs aimed at improving the welfare of Nigerians.
He said, “I want to express my appreciation to the organisers of this event. The initiative is part of the ongoing efforts of President Bola Tinubu, through the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, to reduce poverty across the country. I want to assure you all that President Tinubu will continue to support ideas and initiatives that positively impact the lives of Nigerians.”
Doherty also explained that the awards presented to the President reflect the Renewed Hope Agenda of his administration.
Meanwhile, Dr Rachael Ojuade, Founder of OJF Global and its Global Diplomatic Peace Chairperson, said that meaningful humanitarian service has been a hallmark of the Tinubu administration. She noted that the second edition of the Food Drive was intended to foster stronger relationships between the foundation and the government to advance its mission.
Describing Mr Doherty as a “father figure,” Dr Ojuade highlighted his contributions to ensuring the foundation achieves its goals as a non-governmental organisation.
She said, “We are pleased to honour President Bola Tinubu in recognition of the administration’s support for humanitarian initiatives, and we will continue to sustain the ideology of the organisation.”
