Dr. Aliku provides the boots-on-the-ground Nigerian leadership and involves and builds strong local communities and keeps ETP transparent to donors through weekly progress reports and candid photos, and provides situational awareness for possible conflicts. In addition, his experience in large-scale electrical projects makes him a great asset in creating the Fountain of Hopes Orphanage.
