A statement from Princewill’s Trust quoted Prince Tonye Princewill, who presented the cash award on behalf of his Trust, as saying the aim of the Trust was simply to encourage hard workers and move away from the mindset of entitlement. He called on the winner to make judicious use of the money and \u201cgive others like him, the inspiration to do well, work hard and upgrade their business too.\u201d
The \u201cHelp the Hard worker\u201d monthly competition is organised by a non-governmental organisation, The Princewill\u2019s Trust for entrepreneurs, youths and Rivers state residents engaged in micro business ventures and all forms of hard work in Rivers State.
In her reaction on receiving the cash gift, the winner said she was in need of funds to upgrade her trade, but was helpless, adding that it is a miracle that she won.
She called on youths in the state to be creative and also engage in productive activities. She advised them to shun violence and drug abuse. She equally thanked the Princewill’s Trust for giving her and others a wonderful opportunity in Rivers State.\u00a0 Finally, she pleaded with everyone in a position to help the poor to please help the less privileged people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
