Onuesoke made the call when some physically challenged persons under the sponsorship of the Onuesoke Foundation’s Scholarship  programme  paid a courtesy visit to him in Warri, Delta State.

Onuesoke, represented  by  the Director of Operations, Onuesoke Foundation, Mrs  Igho Pearl Ufuoma, observed that taking care of the less privileged could be done through financial aid, provision of free health care services and free education, among others.

He noted that it would be of great benefit to the society if the less privileged are encouraged to go to school, learn trades or be involved in  other  developmental activities.

“ The alarming rate of poverty in our society today, in addition to the undesirable circumstances that surround many individuals, particularly orphans and those that are suffering from one form of perpetual health deformity or the other, calls for passionate concern by the relevant government’s authorities, corporate organisations and well meaning  individuals,” Onuesoke added.
