Abuja real estate firm, Big Homes has empowered over 50 youths and women and distributed food items to 200 homes in Mabushi village in the Federal Capital
Essien said the organization’s plan is to provide a borehole for access to portable water. “We plan on reaching out every quarter of the year with different themes to address different issues.
The Asu Akuyi Aminu of Mabushi in his address thanked Big Homes for the gesture and show of kindness. “We thank God for today. We are excited and happy to receive Big Homes in our community and for the empowerment and donations to our people. Anyone that give to those that are lacking, gives to God.”
The Chief however expressed serious concern about the environmental challenge of refuse disposal in the area, saying it has become a threat to life of the people. “Our highest challenge now is evacuation of refuse. We have two point of refuse collection but disposal has been a problem. It is only past 2 weeks that Abuja Environmental Protection Board came to evacuate part of it, but if you go around there, you will see a heap of refuse left in the area which is capable of causing an epidemic like Cholera outbreak in part of the country now.
The Chief called on government and private bodies to assist in disposing the refuse dump, saying, “We are scared of any outbreak of disease in our community. We need help now.”
