Joy Oyaghiri-Fagbemi, a Nigerian woman, won hearts by repairing a damaged transformer in her neighbourhood.
Joy, who is from the Omokwa Community in the Abua/ Odual LGA in Rivers State, went further to pay the community’s Nepa bill for one month.
According to Niger Delta Insider, Joy said that her people reached out to her over the bad transformer and complained that they have been cut off the grid for about a year.
She visited the place the transformer was kept and confirmed their complaints and consequently used her resources to fix it.
“I paid for the transformer to be fixed, which wasn’t cheap. I paid for reconnection back to the LGA grid, and paid for one month worth of electricity bills. All this from my pocket. “The joy I saw in the faces of men, women and youths of my community, the text messages of gratitude, was truly humbling,”
The Gazelle News quoted Joy as saying.
