“This programme reflects our continued commitment to the welfare of the people of Lagos East… especially during seasons of spiritual reflection and celebration like Eid-el-Kabir,” he stated.

Abiru’s track record includes digital skill empowerment, business grants, education support, and other humanitarian initiatives aimed at sustainable community development.
