By Ayo Onikoyi Nollywood actress Queeneth Agbor has marked her birthday with an initiative aimed at giving inmates a fresh start, donating vocational equipment to the Afokang Custodial Centre in Cross River State and facilitating the release of two inmates through the payment of their bail.
Rather than limiting the celebration to the usual birthday festivities, Agbor brought together empowerment, entertainment and humanitarian support, offering inmates an opportunity to acquire practical skills and experience a sense of inclusion.
Among the items donated to the facility were industrial sewing machines, cooking stoves, hair-styling equipment and dry-cleaning tools, intended to support vocational training and equip inmates with skills that could help them earn a living upon their release. The actress also facilitated the freedom of two inmates by paying their bail, describing the gesture as part of her commitment to giving people opportunities to rebuild their lives. The event featured a disc jockey, comedians KC Koboko and Microphone Girl, music, dance competitions, a cake-cutting ceremony and other activities that allowed inmates to participate in the birthday celebration. According to Agbor, the outreach went beyond providing food and material assistance, as she wanted the inmates to experience joy, feel remembered and recognise that their circumstances did not erase their worth or their potential to make a fresh start.
