Amoke admitted that he was aware of the numerous challenges facing NALT including those inflicted from within.

Amoke noted: “We see charity from the perspective of identifying what the charity requires. We also know that not all charity is all about money, physical presence. It could be encouragement, it could be material things and otherwise. There is no time we have the convention without having enough to give because we have a target.”
