Today's empowerment programme reflects my unwavering commitment to creating opportunities that uplift lives and foster a more dignified existence for all."


He urged those who have not yet benefited from any empowerment initiatives to exercise patience, assuring that the administration of His Excellency, Senator Monday Okpebholo, is working tirelessly to create a peaceful and prosperous environment for all.

A beneficiary, Mr Lucky Ejabhayo from Ward 10 Ugbegun said, he had been hearing of the philanthropic gesture of Barr. Ikhilor, appreciating his efforts and promising to utilize the opportunity to change his life and that of his family.
