A philanthropist has made a benevolent gesture towards some Accra residents by offering free bus rides to commuters on the Teshie-Nungua, Ashaiman, and Accra Mall routes.
Big Dawood born Dawood Akwesi Agyemang also shared 5,000 packs of hot meals to some children.
He shared his experience driving his father's school bus when he was learning to drive and later working as a trotro driver.
Mr Akwesi Agyemang said after realising his goal in the security industry, he wanted to revisit those days and be able to offer free rides to commuters who use public transport.
This gesture made last Friday was a huge surprise to individuals who benefitted.
The passengers were also gifted chocolates as part of his expression of love towards the passengers.
As this gesture formed part of his birthday celebrations, he further cut his birthday cake with trotro drivers at the Ashaiman bus station.
Big Dawood also donated various items to the New Life Orphanage home in Nungua where he also spent time with the children to encourage them.
These activities were also preceded by the sharing of about 5,000 packs of food to the less privileged in various parts of Accra.
