Christmas 2025 brought relief and joy to thousands of households in Kogi State and Abuja as Engr. Dr. Stephen Achema Akpa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zoe New Dawn Nigeria Limited and Rehoboth City Estate, carried out one of the largest private food distributions of the season.
More than 6,000 bags of rice were shared among staff, non-staff beneficiaries, and communities across Kogi East.
The initiative was structured to ensure inclusivity: 1,000 bags of rice were given to staff, another 1,000 to non-staff beneficiaries, and 4,000 distributed across Kogi East communities. Residents described the gesture as a timely intervention that eased the burden of rising food costs during the festive period.
Dr. Akpa’s philanthropy has been consistent and transformative. Through the Enemona Foundation, he has provided direct financial empowerment, giving ₦250,000 each to 25 beneficiaries in October and November 2025, and expanding the program in December with ₦6 million disbursed to another 25 individuals. His ₦5 million Facebook giveaway further extended his reach, ensuring 1,000 online beneficiaries received ₦5,000 each.
Beyond humanitarian efforts, Dr. Akpa is a strong advocate for Igala culture, sponsoring cultural events that preserve traditions and strengthen unity. His entrepreneurial achievements are equally visible, with thriving real estate projects in Abuja’s prime districts including Jahi, Kukwaba, Life Camp, Lugbe, and Gwarinpa, all distinguished by modern infrastructure and sustainable designs.
Community leaders and beneficiaries alike have hailed his Christmas outreach as a model of selfless leadership. By combining grassroots distribution with digital empowerment, Dr. Akpa continues to redefine philanthropy, leaving an enduring legacy of compassion, cultural pride, and transformation across Kogi and Abuja.
