Dufil Prima Foods Limited has reaffirmed its mission to help in easing the burden on vulnerable Nigerians as occasioned by the present economic challenge.
The company restated this when it’s management visited the Ajegunle area of Lagos State for the second time in two weeks to distribute free meals and cartons of its popular product, Indomie Instant Noodles to the less privileged in that part of Ajeromi Ifelodun LGA, Lagos.
The beneficiaries were mostly women, the elderly, and children.
Speaking at the product donation, done in partnership with the Pink Food Bank Foundation, the Group corporate communications and events manager, Dufil Prima Foods, Temitope Ashiwaju, restated the brand’s determination to reach out to, and feed two million indigent families living across the country.
“We have made a commitment to feed two million Nigerians with our intervention nationwide. We are going round communities to feed our people, and to also give cartons of our products to people in the communities. We have been to several of these communities, so this is not the first that we are starting with, and it will not also be the last,” Ashiwaju said.
“Everything that you have seen that is happening here we are doing it all over the country. So, it is not as if it is peculiar to people living in Ajegunle alone. We have so many other places that we have visited, and thousands of people that we have given our products to and they are quite excited,” he added.
He pointed out the geographical spread of the initiative which is aimed at complementing the government’s efforts to alleviate hunger.
Ashiwaju commended the Pink Food Bank Foundation team led by its Project manager, Stephen Oluwadara, for being worthy partners in Indomie’s quest to put smiles on the faces of vulnerable Nigerians and raise their hopes for the future, applauding beneficiaries for the orderly way they conducted themselves during the distribution exercise.
One of the beneficiaries, Janet Emmanuel, expressed her delight and gratitude for the gesture from Dufil Prima Foods, saying “I am very happy and grateful for this gift from Indomie. I love to eat Indomie but the current economic situation has depleted my finances. So, this donation will go a long way in helping me and my family.”
