As Jose Foundation, an international non-governmental organisation with bias for Africa and the less privileged, marks its tenth anniversary, it has lined up activities to commemorate the milestone.

The President of the Foundation, Prince Martins Abhulimhen, revealed that the body has concluded plans to make its contribution in youth development felt through sports as well as to appreciate the efforts being made by President Goodluck Jonathan in the area of maintaining peace in the country.

According to Abhulimhen, collaboration meeting was held with  representatives from Universita La Sapienza, Rome, Mr. Stefano Catteddu and Mr. Ian Smith, “at the Dorchester Hotel, Park Lane, London on 14  December, 2013 to celebrate our 10th year anniversary”.

The meeting, he stated, was sequel to the decision of the university to bestow an honourary doctorate degree in political science on Jonathan and his wife, as well as sponsor talented Nigerian kids between 5-16 years from all the states of the country in football development.

Abhulimhen added: “Our Foundation is working with the university and the football academy in Rome, as Jose Foundation is dedicated to ensure that talented kids get the needed sponsorship and exposure they need through this collaboration”.
