More than 10,000 households have benefited from the distribution of relief materials from Swift Networks Limited.
The mostly vulnerable households located within the environs of the company’s Victoria Island, Ogba and Ikeja offices received food items, hand sanitisers and face masks.
The distribution was supervised by personnel from relevant security and health agencies, with recipients also educated on the need to regularly observe safety measures like washing of hands, using hand sanitizers, use of face masks, personal hygiene, social distancing and hospital visit if they feel unwell.
Charles Anudu, managing director of Swift Networks said the gesture was in keeping with the company’s social responsibility, particularly in a difficult time.
