According to Fatima Jabbe, an ambassador to the John Utaka Foundation, the proceeds from the pub-licised dinner and fundraising event will be used practically to kick-start the objectives of the foun-dation especially towards help-ing mentally and physically disabled children in Africa. “This banquet event having celebrities from the football, movies and business worlds in attendance has shown that the foundation will be spurred to do more for the less-fortunate in our African society.”
