Multiple award winning United Nation ambassador, Chairperson Elderly and the Poor, Habiba Abubakar was awarded by African Legacy in Los Angeles, California for her humanitarian services on Tuesday.
The kind and philanthropic Ambassador started her non-governmental organisation out of passion in 2006, helping the elderly, the poor and mostly the children and has over the years, grown from grass to grace.
Elderly and the Poor is an outstanding organisation in Nigeria that is self sponsored by Habiba Abubakar unlike many humanitarian organisations that sort for financial assistance.
In her speech, Habiba revealed to the crowed that she has bought five hectares of land worth N250,000,000 to build school for the orphans and elderly home for the elders in her continued struggle to help the poor people in Nigeria,
She said ”It is a great pleasure to be here in LosAngeles to received this humanitarian award. In 2006 when I started this NGO I have never thought it would be this big because I was simply doing what I love, my passion, it was never for an award.
”Thank God today Foundation For the elderly and the poor is reaching a lot of places with many fans all around. It has gone far and wide, it makes me proud of myself, and I stand here today to donate a plot of land in Abuja Airport road to build a subsidised School for the less privilege children.A plot five hectors in size bought for 250,000,0000 Naira only ( two hundred and fifty million Naira only) to build a school and an elderly home for the less privileged”
She added that if such school existed in Nigeria, it would assist many families in many ways. A revelation that led to almost an unending ovation until the organizer appealed to the crowed for continuation.
It could be recalled that in her fight for the underprivileged, Habiba had written a letter to the President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, copying Senate President, David Mark and the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Aminu Tambuwal requesting him to make schools and health care free for children and the poor in Nigeria.
