The beneficiaries received packages containing rice, garri, spaghetti, noodles, tomato paste, tooth brushes, sardines, salt, vegetable oil, bread and seasoning cubes, distributed by the project partner; Lagos Food Bank Initiative.

Prior to the gifts being distributed, the Head of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Globacom Jumobi Mofe-Damijo, welcomed the recipients, reaffirming the company’s dedication to aiding the underprivileged in the society.

She stressed that the foundation’s objective is targeted at helping the most disadvantaged members of society nationwide, hinting that other projects are in the pipeline to impact various segments across the country.

Expressing their joy, the beneficiaries, who were mostly women, appreciated Globacom.

Christina Itoro, a POS operator, expressed satisfaction over the content of the package, pouring out prayers for the organisation.
