The Chairman of the CDC, Hon. Rabiu Kazeem (KB1) said the fund was borne out of the need to complement the effort of government in education, security and infrastructure. 

Rabiu told the NAN in an interview at the venue of the inauguration that building a better community was a collective effort.

“We want to make conscious efforts towards ensuring that we build a community of readers, we want to resuscitate the reading culture among our youths. The N250 million trust fund is to help us achieve this amongst other things,” he said.
