He urged parents to pay adequate attention to their children,provide an enabling environment for them to study and thrive, and lastly raise them to be good humans.

The Philanthropist was in no way done with the people of his community as he unveiled the National Health Insurance Scheme, which was introduced in the community by a team from the scheme. The scheme would afford members of the community the opportunity to access health care for next to nothing. A member of the team,Mr. Ogijo explained to community members that when they get registered on the scheme,they would pay only ten percent of the actual cost of treatment at hospitals, which are under the health scheme. The annual sum of N15,000 per beneficiary would be covered by Richard Osaseyi’s generosity. The Scheme will have at least 300 beneficiaries.

The beneficiaries of the Scheme according to the Humanitarian will be Senior citizens(aged 65 and above), widows,orphans,people living with disabilities,pregnant women,nursing mothers,clergymen(Christians and Muslims).

Customized exercise books were distributed to every single one of the students and pupils present. This is intended to aid the children in their learning process.

The parents present had nothing but kind words in thanking Hon. Richard. They showered encomiums on him and promised to always align with his aspirations. This they reiterated by pledging to throw their weight behind him in the coming elections. Several members of the community pledged to cast their votes for the ruling party,the All Progressive Congress across board.

In closing, the Philanthropist thanked everyone present for their continued support and prayers. He promised to always give back to his people as long and as much as the Almighty blessed him.

It was a well-packaged,well-attended event overall.
