A group known as Emmanuel TV Partners, on Sunday, distributed food items worth over N15 million in FCT communities.
The Coordinator of the group, Mrs Ogechi Tagbo said that the food items were distributed in commemoration of the third anniversary of the passing of Temitope Joshua (TB Joshua), Founder of the Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN).
Emmanuel TV is the media arm of SCOAN.
According to Tagbo, the initiative is to honour the legacy of the late Joshua and support the less privileged in society.
She recalled his humanitarian services and their impact both within and outside Nigeria, especially during natural disasters and conflicts.
“Emmanuel TV Partners Abuja made a vow to continue spreading the love and teachings of Jesus Christ, as exemplified by TB Joshua.
“Our outreach today is a testament to his selfless and generous spirit of our late Prophet. We aim to continue his legacy of love, faith, and support for the less privileged,” she said.
She said that the essential items including 350 tubers of yam, 300 bags of rice, 350 cartons of noodles, wrappers, mobile phones for the elderly, bread, and beverages, drinks, toiletries and cash gifts were distributed.
Tagbo said these would support the elderly, widows, and other vulnerable members of the community, especially with the economic challenges bedevilling the nation.
Tagbo said that the group would also visit the Gifted and Talented Orphanage in Trademore and the FCT School of the Blind in Jabi to support the vulnerable groups as part of the evangelical outreach.
She revealed that similar gestures would also be replicated by Emmanuel TV partners all over the world, where food items and livelihood support would be distributed to support the less privileged.
One of the partners, Eno Ekanem said that the outreach was to show love and give back to the community to show God’s blessing.
“Our goal is to reach out to those who can not provide for themselves, especially the elderly and the downtrodden,” he said.
Similarly, another member, Nneka Mba commended the substantial nature of the donations despite the current economic situation.
“Considering the current economic situation, we have managed to gather significant quantities of rice, beans, noodles, and other essentials.
“Our contributions are valued between N15 million to N16 million,” she said.
The traditional ruler of Tasha Village Jiwa Chiefdom, Japhet Akawu expressed appreciation for the gesture.
“Today’s generosity from Emmanuel TV Partners signifies a turning point for our community. This act of kindness brings hope and is a blessing for us all,” he remarked.
