Engr. Noah Dallaji: A Man Like No Other~Prince Eze Ugochukwu.
▪A Trade Mark Of Charity.
His name is Engr. Noah Dallaji. He is popularly called the Emir.
Noah is the president of the African Children's Talent Foundation ( ACTF ). He is a native of Bauchi State, Nigeria.
Our parts crossed through a friend Chief Chidi Ikoroha in 2011 when I first came to live in Abuja. That was how I observed the great emancipation work Noah was carrying out to elevate the status of Nigerian and African youths by enhancing their God's given talents, and giving them a rosy future out of poverty and deprivation.
The "Presido" as we call him, invited me to joined his foundation to traverse areas of northern and southern Nigeria including Bauchi and Lagos. In lagos we ended up in Ajegunle for childrens talent hunt, where those gifted with natural skills were discovered, and placed in sectors that will formally see them excel in life.
It is very difficult to come across people whose sole objective in life, is to help the towntrodden. In Noah Dallaji, you find a rare breed. He is restless, energic, highly intelligent, eloquent, and most importantly humble.
Like Jesus Christ, it will be very difficult to locate Noah in a crowd. Nothing differentiates him from those around him. His simplicity is amazing. He eats and dines with all classes of people, whether you are rich or poor. Infact, the complete eradication of poverty amongst the less privileged is his unapologetic goal in life.
Today, this quest to serve humanity has seen Engr. Dallaji at the forefront of the fight against the covid19 pandemic scourge.
In an unprecedent scale. With an un-matched sophistication. Engr Noah Dallagi has created the largest Nigerian Charity network that cuts across the thirty six states of the federation plus the federal capital territory of Abuja. This is the biggest distributive chain in Nigeria delivering foods, medical equipments, hand sanitizers, protective gears, and cash gifts to people hit by lockdown and other effects of the coronavirus devastation.
What Engr. Noah is doing is so mind-boggling that you begin to wonder what gives him the strength to trottle at the high speed through which he moves. Millions of people to feed, thousands of transports to deploy, warehouses to rent, employees numbering in their thousands, including the engagement of ict experts in data processing and data storage.
Once in a lifetime; Once in a generation, God sends a redemmer, a rescuer, an uplifter, and a Moses to liberate the people from bondage and shacles of poverty. In Noah, God has fullfilled the call by the poor, the weak, the sick, and the homeless for a helping hand.
Noah is indeed the apple of God's eye.
