    True wealth lies in helping the needy, says Adamawa philanthropist

    Foremost philanthropist and President of the EMNAMU Foundation, Dr Emmanuel Musa, has said the greatest achievement anyone can attain is using their resources to uplift the needy.

    Musa made the remark on Thursday afternoon in his hometown, Kala’a, Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State, during the Banquet of Gratitude, a programme that rounded off a week-long series of humanitarian activities organised to mark his birthday.

    The activities included securing the release of 100 prison inmates, settling hospital bills for indigent patients, and reaching out to orphans within and outside orphanage homes.

    According to the philanthropist, giving to the needy is akin to lending to the Creator, noting that this belief has continued to shape his life and convictions.

    “The greatest achievement of mankind is not the accumulation of wealth, but touching the lives of the needy,” he said, stressing that he remains committed to the philosophy.

    “Giving to those in need is what makes me happy. Giving is my hobby, a hobby I truly enjoy,” Musa told newsmen at the annual Banquet of Gratitude, held at the Kala’a Central Field.

    Earlier, in his welcome address, the National Coordinator of the EMNAMU Foundation, Kukuya Godwin Kala’a, described Emmanuel Musa as a source of hope to the hopeless, relief to the distressed and an enabler of opportunities for young people through his sustained acts of charity over the years.

    He noted that the Banquet of Gratitude was organised to celebrate a life devoted to service and compassion, as well as to appreciate the impact of the foundation’s outreach across different parts of Adamawa State.
