With millions of poor Nigerians struggling to sustain their livelihood, Logistics Haven has partnered with Mama Moni Empowerment Foundation to distribute food items to poor and needy Nigerians amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The relief programme carried out all through August is part of the social corporate responsibility of the organisation to address some of the challenges Nigerians are facing in a period of economic downturn.
“The objectives are to piece together and put at ease the gap in the livelihood of families, to fuel an adaptive chain reaction for development in the microsystem of society and the nation within individuals especially the homemakers,” said Obi John, chief executive officer, Logistics Haven.
“The girl child and women in general who have been caught unawares by the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic,” John said.
He says his organisation is simply carrying out its social responsibility by supporting poor Nigerians.
He noted that the virus outbreak which impacted the country’s economy negatively has brought hardship and financial challenges to Nigerians.
According to him, the collaboration has carried out the COVID-19 relief programme all through August 2020 to support the less privileged.

He says an average Nigerian cannot afford three square meals daily owing to the difficult moment the country is experiencing currently while calling on individuals to become creative and scale up their skills to leverage business opportunities to create wealth.
“This is an avenue for the creative-minded persons and institutions to think outside the box and come up with genuine ideas, skills, and actions required for businesses and other opportunities to thrive,” he said.
“My biggest discovery is this- with the right guidance and will, more small scale businesses and ideas were birthed this period,” he further said.
“Brands and businesses became equipped with scaling power, either via partnership, innovation, digitization, awareness or simple exposure to the source of start-up capital…,” he added.
Also speaking, Nkem Okocha said that impacting women’s life and helping low-income female entrepreneurs thrive is her mission, adding that women have the financial capacity to cater for themselves, children, and others around them
She disclosed that the pandemic has brought about the need for more NGOs to do more in the area of support to Nigerians.
“We realized that the government alone cannot help everyone. Therefore as expected more NGOs sprung up,” she said.
Logistics Haven is an organisation that has been in existence for about fifteen years and ever since has been in the business of carrying out the responsibility of safe and efficient movement of containerized goods.
