By Okechukwu Keshi Ukegbu

At least 30 persons have benefited from the philanthropic gestures of Hon. Erondu Uchenna Erondu (aka Igodoigwe) as he builds houses for indigent persons in communities within and outside Obingwa local government area of Abia State.

Some of the beneficiaries are Mercy Nwagwu , Elijah Emmanuel, Alice Akobundu, Monday Marcus, Sylvanus Ogbonna, Uloaku Nwatata, Christian Nwosu, Florence Lazarus, Victoria Chikwe Ohajuru, among others.

Speaking while handing over the keys of the buildings to the beneficiaries, Hon. Erondu stressed the need for the privileged in the society to deploy their wealth to good use by helping the less- privileged.

” There is nobody among us who do not have something to give. Give to others so that God will bless you,” he said.

He continued:” Nobody prompted me to do these things. I am on God’s mission and I will continue to do it. It makes me restless and gives me sleepless nights when I see tears on the eyes of other people”.

Hon. Erondu, who said that the donation of the buildings was part of events to mark his 45th birthday, expressed thanks to God for using him to affect the lives of the beneficiaries positively.

The beneficiaries in their responses thanked Hon. Erondu and prayed for God’s continued guidance and prosperity for him.
