students donate food to motherless babies

According to Punch News, the Students of the Nigerian Institute of Journalism,Ogba in Lagos, on Thursday
donated food items to
motherless and abandoned babies at Tunji Adebayo
Foundation, Ifako area of the state.

The Students’ Affairs Officer of
the institution, Mrs. Patricia Kalensanwo, said the school
expected the students to do more.
She said, “As students, the love
for the nation must always reign in your hearts,” adding
that “students should seek ways
through which the nation can
improve by providing for her
future.”
A student of the institution, Ola-
Abraham Emmanuel, said the
money used in buying the food
items was sourced from the Rag
Day, one of the programmes for
the maiden edition of the
students’ week.
“Many Nigerian institutions have
lost their ways, but we as
student-journalists, are trying to
do it right,” Emmanuel, who
coordinated the programme,
said.
He added that the money
realised during Rag Day, should
be meant for charity but
regretted that many institutions
did not use it as such.
The foundation’s representative,
who gave her name simply as
Mrs. Lara, said she was delighted
to receive the gifts, adding that
such a gesture hardly came from
even government officials.
“The motherless and abandoned
babies face various challenges, I
urge government officials,
individuals and corporate
organisations to help the less-
privileged in the country to
grow. Babies must be properly
taken care of and remembered
because they are the future of
the nation,” she said.
