The humanitarian tour, which covered the 13 wards of Bende Federal Constituency, came to a grand conclusion on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, bringing relief and encouragement to many households grappling with economic hardship.
The outreach, driven by philanthropist and business leader Dr. Chimaobi Desmond Anyaso, provided food items and financial support to families during the Lenten season, offering timely assistance and strengthening community solidarity.
Throughout the tour, the foundation’s team moved from ward to ward, delivering aid and engaging directly with residents through what organisers described as the “Direct Touch Initiative”—a grassroots approach aimed at ensuring that support reaches people at the community level.
According to organisers, the initiative was designed to make the movement more than a message by translating compassion into practical assistance for families in need.
Easter Visits to Uzuakoli and Umuimenyi/Nkpa
The final phase of the tour featured visits to two wards in Ikwuisi:
Uzuakoli Ward, at Amuhi Eluama, Uzuakoli
Umuimenyi/Nkpa Ward, at Lohum Imenyi Ukwu, Achi Village Square, Nkpa Amaogbeke Amaohoro
Community members—including traditional rulers, youth groups, women, town union leaders, and religious leaders—gathered to receive the foundation’s team and express appreciation for the support extended to residents.
The events provided an opportunity for community interaction, recognition of local leadership, and encouragement for continued unity and collective development.
Celebration of Service and Renewal
Speakers at the gatherings described the outreach as a demonstration of compassionate leadership and grassroots engagement.
Representing Dr. Anyaso during the concluding visits were Ezeogo (Dr.) Emeka Onuoha, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Chima Anyaso Foundation, and Pastor Okechukwu Dike, who led the delegation through the final activities of the tour.
As the outreach concluded, organisers reaffirmed the movement’s guiding message: “OFUJI Movement: The Idea Whose Time Has Come.”
For many residents, the initiative brought not only material support but also renewed optimism; reinforcing the belief that meaningful change can begin at the grassroots, one ward at a time.
