A non-governmental organisation – Spiritual Movement has extended financial support to 50 business owners.
Iwelumo Kingsley Kachikwu, the leader of the NGO, said the support was borne out of his compassion for humanity.
“We envisage a global community of individuals who are setting new standards of excellence personally and as a group. The state of the country hasn’t been favourable to business owners and individuals. We can only make the ecosystem better by helping in our smallest capacity. With this initiative, we hope to create space for conversations that translate to offline relationships, forums where problems are discussed and solved in the best way,” Kachikwu.
He further described his organisation as innovative, and different as it would be addressing needs, solving problems, and improving the lifestyle and standards of people generally. He also appreciated members of his team, Chioma Geraldine Ibeanusi and Mayowa Issac Ogunlade (@Ekitipikin) who assisted with the charity drive and verification of businesses in need of support.

The beneficiaries took to Twitter to appreciate the NGO for this charity drive, noting that a lot of businesses in Nigeria have been affected by the financial crisis/devaluation of the naira in the country.
Isioma Mba, one of the beneficiaries, praised the organisation for helping small business owners and people who have been having financial difficulties as they have been sidelined by the government.
“This N50,000 gifts would go a long way in helping my business. Getting this token from Kingsley was an eye-opener that good people still exist in the country.”
The organisation which started in 2019 as a Twitter engagement, has consistently demonstrated commitment to its charitable activities and intentional focus on financial support and networking.
Since its inception, over 200 individuals have enjoyed the benefits of the organisation and have been assisted in other avenues such as payment of school fees, offsetting hospital bills, and so on.
