It was a moment of joy and thanksgiving to God when Rev. Fr. Solomon Ukeyima, a Catholic priest of Makurdi Diocese together with his friends, gifted a poor aged woman a furnished house.
Mama Agatha Kwasena, who has been living in a squalid hut for years, was handed the keys of the building on June 8, 2021 upon completion and dedication.
Father Ukeyima, who is the Parish Priest of St. Augustine’s Demekpe, Makurdi traced the woman’s background after “her widow’s mite” gift of six eggs during sympathy visit to him after a robbery incident at the parish house last year.
Mama Agatha who could not hold her joy, thanked God fir using the priest ti wipe out her tears.
