In a generous act of charity, the Nigerian Naval outpost in Onitsha, Anambra State, has contributed food items valued at millions of naira to Madonna Angels Orphanage Home located in Atani, Ogbaru Local Government Area.

He was represented by Navy Commander Kabiru Yusuf, the Executive Officer, who articulated that the initiative aims to cultivate goodwill and strengthen bonds with communities in the region.
Captain Jarma emphasized that selecting Madonna Angels Orphanage for this initiative was a deliberate decision to ensure that the children experienced the joy of the yuletide season and received support beyond it.
He stated, “Our outpost has previously conducted similar initiatives, including medical outreach and educational programs, all aimed at enhancing community welfare. We are dedicated to maintaining our efforts in building trust and support within our host communities.”
In her response, Rev. Sister Justina Ugh Anne, the General Manager of the orphanage, alongside Manager Mr. Okwuoyibo Fidelis, expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Nigerian Navy for their consistent support and timely assistance.
