A Frontline Human Rights Group in Nigeria, the Centre for Human Rights, Crime Prevention and Peace Advocacy ably led by Comrade Jude Alozie recently honoured Amb. Francis Pember and three others.
Amb. Pember who is the Director- General of *Say* *Yes To My Needs* *International* *Foundation* is a well known and highly respected Philanthropist and Successful Businessman whose humanitarian and charity works over the last ten years have been awesome and spellbinding.
He was honoured for his immense contribution to the growth of the Group.
Addressing the members shortly after the ceremony, the National Chairman of the Group, Comrade Jude Alozie has this to say: ” By His Grace, we mapped out today being Friday, the 17th of June 2022 to recognize some of our dignitaries like Ambassador Comrade Francis Pember, Bishop Dr. Ume Nwankwo, Chief Priest McAnthony Ezearugo and Comrade Mrs. Monica Ikejiuba and to honour them for what they deserve for their contributions to the advancement of this Organization.
Comrade Francis Pember is the Special Adviser to this Organization. Before this honour,he has been doing wonderfully well in that area. Whenever we consult him on any critical matter and ask for his advice, he would give a favourable advice and when we follow it,we would land at the winning post.
We thank God for His life and pray that God will use him mightily to expand this Organization to the highest level.” On his words of encouragement and advice to the Recipients, he offered: “My words of advice to them is that as they have received this Award and Recognition, they should continue to cooperate with us as they have been doing.”.
Receiving the the Award on behalf of Amb. Francis Pember, the Vice Chairman of the Group, Comrade I.K. Ogamba, expressed gratitude to the Organization for finding Amb. Francis worthy of such honour and promised to pass on the message to him.
He pointed out that the Ambassador deeply appreciates the gesture and will continue to do his best for the upliftment of Centre and do more in the promotion of the Organization.
According to him, the Ambassador sent a message of Goodwill that he will continue to do more in order to move the Organization forward to stand up to address issues that has to do with the common people of the society and that henceforth this Organization will stand as the voice of the voiceless and hope of the hopeless in Nigeria.
It would be recalled that Say Yes To Our Needs,* the Organization being headed by Ambassador Francis Pember is reputed to have a database of Active Voting Age Members of over 14 Million People and still counting. Based on his efforts to bring his members to participate in government policies and activities like: BVN Registration, NIN, INEC Registration, etc. with each having an individual Account with Access Bank and Special Customized ATM Card with Access Bank, Amb. Francis Pember is using his Organization to galvanize the masses towards economic growth, Social and Political Awareness.
Some weeks ago, Access Bank Plc offered Amb Francis Pember a deal on Agency Banking Platform that will soon benefit millions of families both in Urban and Rural areas. They equally have CUG Lines with Glo of about 800 Thousand lines which the members are using. No doubt, Amb Francis Pember is a force to reckon with. In other words, *Say Yes* *To My Needs* is a Strategic Non Governmental Organization which can positively influence the course of history and events in the country and the world at large. It is also a Non Governmental Organization with a huge potential for Human Capital Development.
