According to Bella, who is also the Chairman, Abumet Nigeria Ltd, with the UNICEF report that “One in every five of the world’s out-of-school children is in Nigeria, 2021 is a challenge that we must collectively address. Therefore…I am honored to work with Chinenye and her team to ensure that children from low-income households have a future where their dreams and aspirations can become a reality.”

The Day aims to inspire people to become actively involved with NGOs, both in the public and private sectors. It also aims to educate individuals worldwide on NGOs and their impact.
