It was a moment of fanfare and funfair, as the MD/CEO of Stanel Group, Dr. Stanley Uzochukwu celebrated his birthday with widows, orphans, physically challenged, youths, friends and well-wishers.

The birthday celebration which recently held in Awka, Anambra State capital, saw the celebrant gift out cartons of Holy Bible, thousands of bags of rice, brand new Toyota cars, wrappers, cartoons of Indomie noddles, jerry-cans of groundnut oil, cartons of toiletries, dozens of writing materials and exercise books, loaves of Stanel bread and other packages to the attendees, who came to fete with him, including widows, physically challenged, orphans, among others.

The event, which started with praises and worship, also featured series of prayers and goodwill messages.

Speaking at the event, Dr. Uzochukwu, who admitted to be a true Christian, was full of gratitude to God for gift of life, and registered his amazement and gratefulness for the surprising birthday wishes and accolades from his staffs and invitees.

In his goodwill message, an APGA stalwart, Chief Ben Obi showered praises on the celebrant, who he described as a generous good-hearted and hard-working man. Testimonies from his staffs, pastors, church ministers and others followed.

Speaking on behalf of Plateau State widows, Hanatu Danladi expressed appreciation to Dr. Uzochukwu and testified of his life-changing impacts, and how he has been consistently investing in the lives of prisoners, widows and orphans in Plateau State for over 12 years.

No doubt, Dr. Uzochukwu has proved to be a quintessential philanthropist who longs to help and invest in people's lives.

The event ended with joy in people's heart, as they smiled home with their loads of presents.

I have noting to say.
