The initiative, which is in its 9th edition. will focus on distributing packed meals in five days to 6,000 people across six Nigerian states – Lagos, Rivers, Kano, Imo, Kwara, and Abuja. In each state, 1,000 persons, including children, women, youth, and the elderly will be served meals in an atmosphere capturing the celebratory feelings of season.
Speaking during the press conference, Director, Corporate Communications & CSR, Mr. Femi Adeniran, said, through the initiative, the telco aims to share happiness and celebrate with the people in the communities where it operates.
“The 5 Days of Love campaign is beyond an activity where we distribute meals. It is an avenue for us to celebrate the festive season with the people around us, in an electrifying atmosphere of fun, good entertainment and love. We believe that little things can make a difference, and this is why at Airtel, we have committed ourselves to the act of sharing and celebrating this end of the year as good neighbors,” Adeniran said.
Also speaking at the event, Director of Distribution, Ifeoma Okafor-Obi, Airtel Nigeria, described Airtel as a people-focused organization, adding that despite the difficult times being faced by families and organizations, Airtel will continue its long-standing tradition of ensuring that the vulnerable in the society also share in the experience the festive season.
