Friendly visitor needed for an 82-year-old neighbor in Lagos

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

Lagos
I'm writing for my neighbor Jumoke, who's 82. Jumoke lives alone in Lagos, and lost a spouse of many years last year. The nearest family lives a long flight away. Jumoke loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Saturday 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
