Real Madrid defender, David Alaba has donated the sum of 13.3 million Nigeria currency to OPS-WASH, to build toilets to curb open defecation in Nigeria.
The Austrian forward is of Nigerian descent, born to a Nigerian prince father and a Filipino nurse mother.
The Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), urged other Nigerians in the Diaspora to emulate the laudable initiative of Alaba, the Nigerian-born football player of the Real Madrid club.
Receiving the symbolic cheque, the NiDCOM boss, Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, said that the gesture by the International Star, who was also an OPS-WASH Ambassador, is highly commendable.
The NIDCOM boss stated this when officials from Ecobank and the National Coordinator, Organised Private Sector, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (OPS-WASH), visited her in Abuja to present the symbolic Cheque from David Alaba.
As a facilitating body and neutral player in the project, Dabiri-Erewa stated that the project of building modern toilet facilities, aimed at sustainable job creation, will begin in Ogun State, Alaba’s home state.
Also, she urged Project Managers to successfully deliver in record time.
