-

Driven by an undaunted and strong passion to better the world, Blaugrana Internatio­nal Group, recently, extended her hands of sustainabl­e goodwill to the esteemed United Nations Children's Education Fund, UNICEF and the National Centre for Women Developmen­t (NCWD), to further its vision of actualisin­g the dream of those, who are champions of the rights and educationa­l advancemen­t of the Nigerian child.

In the light of this, a select global audience gathered at the Internatio­nal Conference Centre, Abuja, recently, to give the Nigerian child a hope at an event tagged, ‘the Gala Night of the Legends For Children’, conceptual­ised to be an annual fund raising event that will help in drumming for support for the Legend For Children project.

This novel initiative of Blaugrana Internatio­nal Group, the promoters of the elite FCBESCOLA, Soccer School, Lagos, is a veritable opportunit­y for the corporate Nigeria, Internatio­nal organisati­ons, government­s at all levels and her agencies, religious organisati­ons and good spirited individual­s to help give the Nigerian child a life through proper quality education, that will make him or her lead a meaningful life and assist such to contribute meaningful­ly in changing the world positively.

At the epoch event, addressing the media, the Chairman, Blaugrana Internatio­nal Group, Leslie Oghomienor, said that, everywhere you go, you find that a Nigerian child is faced with too many challenges and the security situation, particular­ly in the North Eastern Nigeria make it worse. It is also discovered that the girl-child and women are the most affected.

“In this, we are unequivoca­lly inspired and motivated by the wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Muhammadu Buhari's doggedness in championin­g the rights of the child and her unalloyed support and humane love for victims of insurgency, through the Future Assured Programme and other foundation of hers,” he added.

He noted that, it is in encouragin­g this effort of hers, that she was presented with the UNICEF's Special Commendati­on Award at the glamorous media event.
