“Our main target, the people we are reaching out to are the school dropouts and those who cannot afford to even go to school that was to go into vocational business, like shoemaking, ICT, barbing, hairdressing and after learning these skill we can establish them and start doing something cater for their own life.
“We also have a Dominion Grace Foundation School, which is majorly for dropout children; those who are dropout because of resources, we want to cater for them and bring the best out of them.
“We have team members working together, this is not about me alone but men and women of great minds.”
Also, guest speaker at the programme, Pastor Emmanuel Adele, of Dunamis International Gospel centre, Ibadan charged the foundation to work with integrity.
“The commissioning of this foundation is a landmark because I have known Amechi for years now and his heart for the destitute. I know some things he has done in catering for people and assisting the less privileged, in a little way he has been able to do for school fees, reaching out to the poor in ensuring they have a good life and that is what prompted me to grace this event.”
