Aside from that, he doled out financial support of 100,000 each to more than two thousand persons in the same LGA.

As a man who loves his people passionately, he also visited the orphanage home located at magistrate road at UGEP and donated a token of five million naira to them, approved the funding of over six thousand, UTME JAMB registration in the same LGA.

 

During the Coronation, the traditional rulers and elders in the kingdom appreciated his exemplary lifestyle and impact on the kingdom.
