Dr. Gerald Njoku, who officially blessed and declared the event open, delivered a brief exhortation drawn from the Scriptures, encouraging beneficiaries to remain hopeful and steadfast. He also expressed appreciation to the JDPC team for their dedication, particularly commending Mr. Kings Ohaeri for his excellent coordination of the intervention, and Sr. JT Nwokoro for her role in overseeing health and nutritional support.
