Nigerian Billionaire Emeka Offor Donates $10m to End River Blindness in Nigeria

Sir Emeka Offor today signed a cheque of 10 million dollars at the Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S. This donation is for total elimination of River Blindness which is still endemic in 7 states (5 south eastern states and 2 south-south states) of Nigeria and some other African countries.

According to his team, taking up the responsibility of eliminating Onchocerciasis from Nigeria in addition to his commitment to ending polio would appear as a burden, but the great philanthropist, Sir Emeka Offor sees it as life being lived in the right form of it. More pics below...
