The community applauded the kind gesture which they described as “unprecedented,” and pointed out that Mr. Anyaegbudike has continued to contribute to the development of the community through his generous contribution to the resuscitation of electricity supply in the community, donations to the indigent members of the community, and provision of water for the people .
