David Olofu\, the initiative’s founder\, disbursed ₦200\,000 each to 40 beneficiaries\, marking the second phase of the organization’s long-term commitment to sustainable development in the Benue South Senatorial District. \nThe program follows an earlier phase in November 2024\, during which the initiative provided ₦100\,000 each to 100 students across the nine local government areas of Zone C\, as part of a five-year scholarship scheme. Speaking at the event\, Hon. Olofu reaffirmed his dedication to empowering the people of Benue South\, emphasizing that WEBS is structured to foster long-term economic growth. \nA Transparent Selection Process\nDignitaries and community leaders in attendance praised the merit-based selection process adopted by the initiative. According to Prof. David Salifu\, Chairman of the Board\, the recipients were carefully screened to ensure fairness and transparency\, without any political or personal affiliations influencing the selection. \n“Hon. Olofu’s commitment to community advancement is evident in his consistent efforts to uplift the people of Benue South. The beneficiaries were selected purely on merit\, ensuring that those who genuinely need support receive it\,” Salifu stated. \nCall for Wise Investment\nKey speakers at the event encouraged beneficiaries to invest their funds productively. Chief Abba Adaudu\, an Abuja-based businessman and chairman of the occasion\, applauded Hon. Olofu for his dedication to economic empowerment. He revealed that he himself had benefited from Olofu’s generosity in the past\, attributing his success to the support he received. \nTo further support the initiative\, Adaudu pledged a ₦2 million donation\, urging beneficiaries to make wise financial decisions and work towards becoming employers of labor. \nSimilarly\, Dr. Jesse Adi\, former Commissioner of Finance\, Taraba State\, commended Olofu’s visionary leadership\, stating that he embodies the qualities of a leader who should be encouraged to take on larger roles in governance and development. Adi contributed ₦500\,000 to the APA Legacy Sustainability Initiative and challenged recipients to align their business strategies with the vision of the program. \nAn Initiative for Economic Growth\, Not Politics\nAddressing concerns about the motive behind the initiative\, Chief Odeh Ageh\, former Commissioner of Information and National Orientation\, emphasized that WEBS is not a political tool but a genuine effort to promote economic self-reliance. \n“This initiative is a catalyst for economic growth in Benue South. Dr. Olofu is not just giving handouts; he is teaching people how to fish. This program has the potential to lift many young people out of poverty and prevent social unrest\,” Ageh noted. \nA Broader Commitment to Education and Empowerment\nThe WEBS program aligns with the larger mission of the APA Legacy Sustainability Initiative\, which has consistently supported education and economic growth in Benue South. In a previous initiative\, Hon. Olofu established a ₦50 million Education Support Fund to assist students from Zone C in tertiary institutions.
