Ezeonu Foundation Aids 500 Traders After Anambra Demolitions
The Hamilton and Thelma Ezeonu Foundation, led by founder Hamilton Ezeonu, has offered assistance to over 500 traders whose shops were demolished in Anambra State amid ongoing road construction by the Anambra State government. The demolition impacted nearly 200 buildings and shops in Afor Nnobi market, displacing traders and causing significant hardship.
During a gathering to console the victims, Hamilton Ezeonu expressed deep concern for their losses and emphasized the foundation's commitment to helping them rebuild their lives. He mentioned contacting Governor Charles Soludo to discuss the situation with local leaders.
The foundation provided beneficiaries with bags of rice and cash to alleviate their difficulties. Dr. (Mrs.) Thelma Ezeonu, co-founder of the NGO, reassured the shop owners of the government's good intentions and promised further assistance once rebuilding is completed.
The affected traders, primarily elderly women, expressed gratitude for the support during this challenging time.
