Yuletide: Rich Should Reach Out To Needy-Akande
Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Professor Adeolu Akande, has urged the privileged in the society to help the needy during the Christmas celebration and even beyond.
He said this in a statement after the donation of food items to Ibadan Juvenile Correctional Home by the Adeolu Akande Foundation.
Akande, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, admonished Christians to show love and compassion to one another during the festive period.
“I urge all well-meaning people in the society to share whatever God has given them to the needy. We should imbibe the spirit of giving and make life meaningful for the less privileged.
“As we are celebrating Christmas with our family members and loved ones,we should remember the poor among us who do not have the wherewithal to celebrate Christmas,” Akande said.
Wishing the people of Oyo State and Nigerians in general a Merry Christmas celebration, the NCC chairman charged everyone to be moderate in the way they celebrate during this yuletide and also advised motorists to avoid overspeeding during this festive period.
