Speaking about their success, the founder of AGS Tribe, Ife Durosinmi Etti stated;
Exactly a week after the first announcement, we have been able to surpass our target. This is actually wild! I do not have the words to describe how I feel.
When I announced the 20million as a target, I was scared. After we got to 6 million, I started having heart palpitations. I do not even know why, but even more fear set in.
Etti appreciated everyone who contributed to the cause, saying;
God bless everyone that was part of this journey! You will never be close to any tragedy all the days of your life and you will always find Favour in all you do. We will keep you all updated on everything.
