Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, has donated N100 million to 5,000 widows and other less privileged women in Plateau State.
A member of Musa’s media team, Williams Gyang, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
Gyang said the donation was part of Musa’s philanthropic gesture, aimed at cushioning the hardship being faced by the beneficiaries.
He stated that the beneficiaries cut across various religions, saying hunger, poverty, and squalor knew no tribe or religion.
”The economic hardship that people are facing is huge and this is my little way of showing love and care for widows and less privileged persons in our society.

”So, I want to call on spirited individuals to support the poor ones in the society,” he said.
One of the beneficiaries, Maryam Abdullahi, thanked Musa for the kind gesture, describing the Super Eagles captain as “God sent”.
Abdullahi added: “We are finding it difficult to feed our families because of the high cost of living.
“This money will go a long way to alleviate our sufferings and boost our petty businesses.”
Musa has been carrying out such philanthropic gestures since he became a professional footballer.
