“It is my own little way of giving back to my community, it is the festive period and this is just a way to give back to the people.

“A Bag of rice is now 57,000 naira in the market and the one distributed here is an imported rice 683 bags in all. The country is hard everybody knows that, people are hungry so we need to find one way or the other to cater for their needs.”

George however, urges well-meaning Nigerians to give to those who are less privileged in order to make this yuletide a memorable one for all.
