Red Star Express Plc has been involved in the delivery of food items to several less-privileged communities in Lagos and Ogun states to cushion the effect of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Group Managing Director, Red Star Express Plc, Dr. Sola Obabori, said the delivery was in line with the corporate social responsibility of the group in support of families and communities affected unfavourably by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Over the last few weeks, we have been working with some organisations to deliver food items. Some of these organisations include farm shops, religious organisations and Non-Profit Organisations (NGOs). For example, we have made a few deliveries for the United Way Greater Nigeria organisation.
These organisations are keen to reach as many families and communities as possible to deliver food items that can provide relief in a tough time like this. We have been to various communities to deliver items like rice, beans, palm oil and groundnut oil,” Obabori said.
He commended the efforts of these organisations during the lockdown, assuring that Red Star Express will continue to deploy its resources to ensure that more communities are reached.
“As a company, we will continue to be involved with initiatives like this because we believe that it is our way of helping the families and communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
We are grateful for such opportunities and we welcome more organisations that we can make similar deliveries for,” Obabori said.
