I am eternally grateful to God for the gift of life and the grace to be an instrument of impact. I turned into the 66th chapter of my life today (Wednesday, 8 March 2023)hoping to have a solemn time in God’s presence, and share merry moments with my children at the North East Children’s Trust (NECT) in Borno State, but providence intervened and I am grateful for it regardless.
While I observed a quiet morning devotion service at the Presidential Villa with a plan to travel to Borno afterward, my members of staff were scheming behind the scenes. The fruit of their plans became apparent to me at the Abuja airport, where I was ambushed by aides, associates, and members the choir who serenaded me with singing and joyous celebrations
To say I was surprised would be an understatement.
I then proceeded to Borno State as planned, to spend some time with my children at the @nect_ng Learning Center, a private-sector led charity and social engineering initiative created to nurture and empower vulnerable children between the ages of five 5 and 18 years who have become orphans as a result of the insurgency in North-East Nigeria.
I thank everyone for their kind wishes and I pray that we all grow in leaps and bounds as we proceed deeper into the year.
