By Frederick Wright
Corporate bodies, NGOs and faith based organizations have been charged to seek means of intervening in public life by deploying the resources they control in terms of profit, tithes, zaqat and sadaqah to meaningful and impactful projects that will lift citizens out of poverty and suffering.
The leader of the Abuja zone of a Muslim faith-based NGO, Sisters of Jannah (SOJ), Nigeria, Hajia Fadhilah Funmilayo Abdulwarees-Solanke made the advocacy during one of its interventionist project Back To School at Junior Secondary school Karshi, a satellite of the FCT recently.
According to her “Back to School” is part of efforts to arrest the rising out of school children syndrome that is now prevalent in many states of the federation
She noted that “we are all stakeholders in ensuring quality life as everything cannot be left to the government alone”
She assured that SOJ would not relent in its efforts to support all government programmes , projects and initiatives that are directed at empowering the citizens and ease life for all.
She charged the beneficiaries to focus on their studies, and put to good use items donated to them.
At JSS KARSHI FCT, SOJ settled donated books, shoes, school bags to scores of students as well settled the school fees of the identified mostly indigent ones.
