I am grateful to “Gburugburu” for investing in the Nigeria project and demonstrating what a great patriot he is by making that investment. His contribution to the NNL will live on in the memory of everyone who sees it.” We would like to express our sincere gratitude to him and the people of Enugu State for this act of solidarity, which gives us hope and confidence that we can accomplish our goals.
