According to him the rehabilitation of the fence is just a continuation of the charity work he has been doing all over Freetown, adding that he has rehabilitated and done construction work on other cemeteries like the Kissy Mess Mess Cemetery, Palmer Street Cemetery, Aberdeen Cemetery etc. in order to respect the dead. He continued by saying that he is also engaged in promoting youth activities; helping the poor and needy and other social activities, such as assisting schools and community-based organizations in Sierra Leone.
Dr. Tunde Macarthy who is the owner of Tumac Radio, Tumac Security Agency, Tumac Real Estate and Construction Company, Tumac Film Production, Tumac Water, Tumac Pharmaceuticals etc. said developing Sierra Leone is his dream and that he has always been offering such humanitarian gestures since he returned to Sierra Leone and that his contribution to national development is in line with building the social and economic infrastructure of the country.
