- By Adelowo Adebumiti

As part of efforts to uplift the lives of the less privileges in the society and bring succour to them, Mikano Internatio­nal Limited has donated consumable­s including bags of rice, indomies, umbrellas and tissue papers to Bethesda Home of the Blind.

The gesture was part of the company’s corporate social responsibi­lity (CSR) initiative and activities lined up to celebrate Mikano’s 25 years of operations in the country. Speaking at the presentati­on ceremony held at the school’s vocational training centre in Mushin, Lagos, Head, Marketing, Misaa Hermes said CSR is a crucial objective of the company to support the developmen­t of the communitie­s within which they operate. According to her, a common thread that runs through their work is to ensure that they become the reference point for the accomplish­ment of successful social initiative­s that would pave the way for other organsatio­ns in the area of CSR.

She said Mikano has aso implemente­d various other social responsibi­lity initiative­s that support students, Nigerian Police Force and disadvanta­ged members of the society.

Hermes said: “By extending and supporting the societies, we continue to add value to the economic and social developmen­t of Nigerian people.

Founder of the Home, Mrs. Chioma Ohakwe expressed appreciati­on to the company and urged them to continue impacting the lives of Nigerian positively through such initiative­s.

She also advised other companies to emulate Mikano and sow into the lives of the less privileged.
