Speaking at the presentation of the food items to the community leaders of the communities, Alhaji Bode Oyedele, a Director of Lekki Port, explained that the donation from Lekki Port and CHELE, was to help ease the difficulties occasioned by the COVID- 19 lockdown.
“We are here today to present these food items to the communities as a way of showing our concern to the well-being of the people of our host communities especially during this trying period”, he said.
While assuring them of the commitment of Lekki Port and CHELE to continue to do everything possible to support the host communities, he urged the community leaders to ensure that the food items are distributed to reach every household within their communities.
He commended the communities for peaceful co-existence and relationship with the company over the years and expressed the hope that they will continue to adopt diplomacy and peaceful resolution of disputes and misunderstandings.
