A new vehicle has been given to 60-year-old Nigerian Daniel Davou, who does free pothole repairs in Abuja.
Businessman Double OG added that Daniel received a little prize for his efforts when he tweeted about the touching occurrence.
Daniel’s tale was shared on Twitter a few weeks ago by Double OG, who said that the elderly man had been patching potholes for 30 years.
He said that Daniel has been repairing the roads in Abuja by himself. Daniel is credited with saying the following about why he wants to improve roads:
“I cannot sleep well if there is bad road close to me. I must go and repair it.”
The young guy begged others to give to a trust fund set up for the sexagenarian so his children might inherit, saying that Daniel had been performing the road work faithfully without making a fuss, receiving publicity, or receiving any acknowledgment.
People donated to this cause, and Daniel purchased a new truck with the money. The touching moment Daniel received the new vehicle was recorded on camera and posted to YouTube.
