The lady identified as Chizzy Perpetua was allegedly a victim of accidental gunshots some years ago that affected her spine badly and made her lose the use of legs.
Akano, in a post he shared on Facebook, revealed what exactly transpired that informed his decision.
He said Perpetua had paid him a visit one certain time and remarked that the next time she would be visiting his abode she will do so on high heels, on her own feet.
The man who hails from Nkwerre went on to share screenshots of the money he sent her to make her dreams of walking come true.
Akano, who runs the Nze Timothy Akano Foundation named after his late father, expressed optimism that Perpetua will walk again.
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a Nigerian man revealed how being a kind soul helped him in a difficult situation.
@jerry-emy who is a librarian took to Twitter to reveal that someone he once helped is the one housing him currently.
The librarian also took the opportunity to advise people to be kind to people as the world is a really small place.
"Sometime ago I housed someone because his rent expired. Today the same person is housing me because I got a new job in his city and I am still house hunting. The world is a small place, be kind to people."
