Yahaya Bello has urged his friends, associates and well wishers who are planning to rejoice with him for his second anniversary as governor in media advertorials to donate the money to a government-run charity instead.
He begged those considering placing goodwill messages as advertorial in the media, as his administration clocks two years on January 27, to donate to the Kogi State Poor and Vulnerable fund.
The governor set up the fund to give the poor and vulnerable in the state a new lease of life as it was utilised mainly to offset medical bills of people who otherwise would not be able to raise funds to get the needed medical attention within and outside the country.
The governor revealed that over the past 12 months, more than 300 recipients have benefited from the fund to the tune of over N100 million.
