The Chief Abinye Owen Brown Excellence and Legacy Trust were unveiled during a ceremony marking the traditional leader’s birthday, with organisers describing the initiative as a deliberate effort to institutionalise his two decades of humanitarian service and ensure its sustainability for generations.
The trust will focus on education, youth empowerment and humanitarian assistance through two major programmes: the Widows Support Scheme and the Students Educational Support Scheme.
Speaking at the event, Chairman of the Planning Committee, Boma Kuronye, said the initiative was designed to immortalise Brown’s values while recognising his contributions to the welfare of the people.
“We are gathered not to mourn but to honour a living legend in his lifetime. We are gathered to institutionalise the values of a man who is still with us, still guiding us, and still serving Finima,” he said. Kuronye described Brown as a traditional leader whose commitment to humanity transcended titles and positions. “Aseme-Alabo Abinye Owen Brown has taught us that true greatness is not in titles but in how many burdens you lift for others.
