“We make sure that we live a mark behind in any community we pass through. We have been involved in some school projects in these communities.
“We have joined forces with the cancer drive and have done tree planting. We are still doing things with focus on the inner cities of Abuja. However, we are open to sponsorship as we bid to impact these communities,” he said.
