P.M.EXPRESS reports that the donation was part of the association’s mission to meet the needs of the less privileged in the society and they have been doing so meticulously since 10 years ago when the association was founded by their President General, Eze (Dr)Chika Nwokedi.

The group has made it a routine to visit orphanages every November. In 2024, the group paid such visit to Charitas Orphanage in Abaranje, Ikotun, to express their love and support by giving food items, especially at a time when the Nigerian economy was biting hard.
