The donation, which included essential clothing and food items, highlights NLTF’s commitment to uplifting marginalized communities and promoting national unity.
“We must take a moment to remember our brothers and sisters who have faced displacement due to conflict and disaster,” Adeyanju emphasized. “As we celebrate Nigeria’s independence and in representation of President Bola Tinubu, we stand in solidarity with those who have been forced to leave their homes.”
He elaborated on the significance of the donation, stating, “This effort reflects our dedication to your well-being and our resolve to support vulnerable communities. Every Nigerian deserves dignity, hope, and a chance to rebuild their lives. We pray for peace, unity, and prosperity in our nation. May this anniversary be a starting point for new beginnings for all, guiding us towards a brighter future.”
Adeyanju expressed hope that their assistance would bring comfort to those affected. He also called for unity, urging support for President Bola Tinubu’s administration in its mission to build a better Nigeria where every citizen can thrive and every child can envision a hopeful future.
The contributions included a variety of items such as canvases, balls, T-shirts, towels, socks, bags of corn, millet, garri, rice, and detergents.

As internally displaced persons, we’ve endured many challenges. Many have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods, but we hold on to hope. I arrived here at 62, and now I am 73. You haven’t forgotten us, and we believe that God will bless your efforts.”
