The Chairman/CEO CAADES Group and Founder Ofuji Movement, Dr. Chima Anyaso says he along with his friends are committed to investing their resources in ensuring that the star in Aba fashion parade boy blossoms.
One Kingsley Kosisochukwu Joseph had boldly joined a fashion parade show at Aba Fashion Week (AFW-23) held at Brass Junction, Aba-Owerri road.
This is the boldness, Dr. Anyaso, popularly known as Ofuji said attracted him and members of his Umu Aba Connect Association in developing interest in the welfare of young Joseph.
Dr. Anyaso said; “My attention has been drawn to the fact that Kingsley is not the only one.
“He was just lucky to have been singled out by me.
“But we need to use him now to get help for others”.
“He was not part of the show, he was probably just watching, like in those days when we used to gather to watch those herbal dealers display.
“That was what that move reminded us, to find out that the boy was not part of the participant and he on his own felt that if all these persons wearing these fine cloths, shoes, good haircuts can do it, I also as deprived and less privileged that I am, I can do it.
“He went on that runway, and luckily, the camera captured him. By God’s grace, he is going to places because there is a star in him and there is a light we saw, we want to make sure that that light does not diminish. He wants to help him to bring out the star in him”, he told ABN TV on Monday in an interview.
Dr. Anyaso said he has equally introduced him to his Umu Aba Connect Association in Lagos where young Joseph who said he wants to be a comedian agreed to go back to school.
He is said to be a pure water hawker who lives in an uncompleted building without his parents after dropping out at primary four.
He revealed that the aims and objectives of the association are anchored on giving back to the Aba society from where members had their roots before succeeding in their various endeavours.
The association he said has raised a large sum of money, but did not disclose the actual figure as he has not been furnished with it.
He said plans have been completed for young Joseph to go back to school in Aba.
