It was all joy for some students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka as an advocacy group, Youth Advocate For Peace Justice And Empowerment Network (YAPJEN), shared food palliatives, to about one hundred students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka, Anambra State.
The gesture, the group said, was to assist the less privileged students of the institution to cushion the effects of the dwindling economy and cost of living following the Covid19 lockdowns across the world.
The distribution of different food items took place at the Faculty of Law of the University and had a large number of students, who also expressed happiness over the kind humanitarian gesture of the Non-Governmental Organisation, group.
Addressing the students, the President of the group, Ambassador Timothy Nwachukwu, who also launched a platform known as “Touch A Life Campaign,” said the major aim of the group was to touch the lives of students and the needy in society.
He said that the benefiting students were believed to be stranded financially on the campus.
He added that the Campaign is part of the efforts of YAPJEN/EBAM towards the achievement of the United Nations sustainable development goal, which seems to end hunger by 2030, end hunger and ensure access by all people, in particular, the poor and people in vulnerable situations, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round.
Nwachukwu, who is also the National President of Ebonyi Ambassadors Movement (EBAM), further appealed to the general public and well meaning individuals in the society to support the efforts of the NGO in reaching directly to young people who are in need.
The students expressed their elation at being provided for and having one less issue to worry about as they venture into a new week.
