Jagaban handing over package to the executive of FPU
In a heartwarming display of solidarity and generosity, the First Lady of Sierra Leone, Madam Fatima Maada Bio, has made a solemn commitment to refrain from making any negative remarks about the All People’s Congress (APC) party throughout the holy month of Ramadan. This pledge, made to popular businessman and philanthropist, Alhaji Mohamed Omodu Kamara, affectionately known as Jagaban, underscores a spirit of unity and goodwill during this auspicious time.
The remarkable gesture took place at a fundraising event organized by the Fullah Progressive Union (FPU), where Jagaban pledged a substantial sum of $10,000 towards supporting the union’s initiatives aimed at uplifting the Fullah community. His generous contribution did not end there, as he later visited the National headquarters of the Fullah Progressive Union in Freetown to engage with the union’s executives and demonstrate his unwavering commitment to community development.
During his visit, Jagaban fulfilled his promise by presenting the pledged $10,000 donation, which is designated to bolster education and women’s empowerment programs—the bedrock of sustainable development and progress within the Fullah community. The donation represents a significant investment in building a brighter future for the youth through improved education resources and empowering women with skills training and entrepreneurship opportunities.
The Fullah Progressive Union expressed profound gratitude for Jagaban’s magnanimity, recognizing the transformative impact that his donation will have on the implementation of vital programs that benefit the community. The ripple effect of this contribution is expected to be felt across various sectors, contributing to the overall well-being and advancement of Fullah individuals and families.
Jagaban’s visit and generous donation have ignited a wave of excitement and hope within the Fullah community, underscoring the power of collective effort and philanthropy in driving positive change and progress. His actions serve as a beacon of inspiration, inspiring others to join hands in supporting community development initiatives and fostering a culture of giving back.
During the fundraising event at the Radisson Blu in Aberdeen, Freetown, the First Lady, Madam Fatima Maada Bio, expressed her deep gratitude as she reconnected with the Fullah Progressive Union—a group she holds in high esteem for their dedication and support. She commended the union for their unwavering commitment to strengthening communal bonds and advancing shared goals.
Speaking on behalf of her husband, His Excellency President Dr. Julius Maada Bio, the First Lady announced her own generous contribution of $15,000 towards the fundraising dinner. This sizable donation symbolizes the First Couple’s enduring commitment to championing initiatives that drive positive change and foster unity within the community. Madam Fatima Maada Bio also expressed profound appreciation for the support shown to her and the President, acknowledging the kindness and dedication of all those who have stood by them.
As the holy month of Ramadan unfolds, the spirit of unity and compassion exemplified by the First Lady and Jagaban serves as a poignant reminder of the values that bind communities together. Their actions reflect a deep-seated belief in the power of philanthropy, collaboration, and goodwill in creating a brighter future for all. May their gestures inspire others to embrace the spirit of giving and solidarity, paving the way for a more united and prosperous society.
