The Uba Sani Foundation has been making this kind of donation to Orphanages since 2018 to celebrate the birthday of its Chairman, Mallam Uba Sani.
This year’s donation is unique as it extended to widows or slain Nigerian soldiers whose families needed such support to continue with life after the demise of their breadwinner.
This is the fourth year the Chairman is celebrating his birthday in a special way by feeding the poor and vulnerable in our communities instead of dining and wining with friends and associates as is the tradition in most Nigerian cultures.
