At the time the Covid-19 pandemic created an unprecedented humanitarian crisis in 2020, Ambassador Nwadavid Chijioke Emmanuel, popularly known as NEC Bullion, was one of the benevolent Nigerians who took up the gauntlet of helping the needy in society.
One year after the Covid crisis, the founder of NecBullion Charity Foundation, spoke about his motivation for helping others, the focus of his foundation and its future direction.
According to him: “Nec Bullion Charity Foundation seeks to provide basic needs for indigent children, from infant to 15 years in indigent communities across Nigeria.”
He disclosed the specific nature of the foundation services, saying: “Such needs range from hospital bills at birth in hospitals where parents can’t afford the bills to care for the babies as they get home, and provision of school materials such as schoolbooks and clothing.”
Nwadavid, an ECOWAS Youth ambassador, further avowed that his NecBullion Charity Foundation, registered only this year (2021) after a decade of humanitarian activities is not working exclusively on the needs of widows and children only.
“There are lots of progress-seeking humans who need assistance, therefore, we also assist and support indigent persons, male and female, skilled and unskilled, who require the assistance of the foundation in areas of livelihood and health,” he clarified.
The boss of NEC Bullion Concept Limited, a business focused on wholesale supplies of building materials to developers, explained that he funds his charity services through a combination of his private pocket, contributions and partnership with other like-minded people and businesses.
“Reaching out to indigent children has always been our focus as a foundation. In order to expand our reach, we would be collaborating with other Nongovernmental organizations with similar goals. This would enable us to touch more lives across different continents,” he avowed.
