Could you share an hour a week with Jumoke?

Looking for a friendly person in Kaduna to visit Jumoke once a week.

Kaduna
I'm writing for my neighbor Jumoke, who's 79. Jumoke lives alone in Kaduna, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Jumoke loves gardening, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Thursday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
