Lamin Kanji, Africell’s second millionaire of the year, last Friday, donated over D40,000 worth of items to the Royal Victoria Teaching Hospital.

The items including 40 pieces of bed sheets, refrigerator, two dozens chairs, television sets and videos for the mortuary and Accident and Emergency Ward were presented at a ceremony held at the hospital grounds in Banjul .

Speaking to the Daily Observer, Mr Kanji, a native of Baddibu Njaba Kunda expressed his profound gratitude to Africell for the million he won. He also thanked them for what he called the ‘wonderful’ services that they offer to the Gambian people.

He further disclosed that he had never imagined winning such an amount of money and thanked God for making him one of Africell’s millionaires.

Mr Kanji also stated that the only way to help the general public is to use the money where everybody can benefit such as in hospitals and schools.

Mr Kanji seized the opportunity to implore his fellow millionaires to emulate his magnanimity, noting that as Gambians, it is obligatory to contribute meaningfully to the development of the country.

Receiving the donated items on behalf of the management and staff of the RVTH, Alhagie Babucarr Ngum, the public relations officer of the RVTH, thanked Mr Kanji for spending part of his million as a token of solidarity and humanitarian gesture towards the hospital. He also called on other Africell millionaires to emulate Mr.

Dr Mariatou Jallow, chief medical director of the RVTH, also expressed similar sentiments and thanked Mr Kanji and family for the gesture. She assured them that the items will be put into good use.
