Asemanya said his organization had noted the notable activities of Chief Godwin Odumu Obla, SAN, and his Foundation, in areas of health, education, support for widows and vulnerable children and the two organization could partner effectively.
According to him, other organisations that could be involved in the collaboration are the Federal Road Safety Commission, Red Cross and Crescent, Nigeria Police, Peace Corps, Civil Defense Corps, Vigilante Groups, media and telecommunication firms.
