Governor of Niger State, Mohammed Umaru Bago, has commended the Committee of Friends for Humanity, COFFHA which recently installed Augustina Igbokwe as its new president.
This is as the governor praised the organisation’s commitment to humanitarian service, describing kindness to humanity as one of the highest forms of service to God.
According to Bago, humanitarian initiatives in health, education, empowerment and trade are critical to improving the lives of Nigerians and complementing government efforts.
“Because you cannot see God, the next thing you do is to be kind to humanity. These great women have chosen humanitarian services in health, education, empowerment and trade so that they can bring support to our people. It is godly and this is what we need,” he said.
The governor described the initiative as a demonstration of corporate social responsibility and pledged continued government support for programmes that uplift vulnerable members of society.
