The MTN Foundation on Friday 22/11/2013 reached
out to the physically-challenged in Oyo State with the distribution of mobility
aids and appliances under the 4th phase of the disability support project.
At an event held in Ibadan, where the materials
were distributed to about 500 beneficiaries of the scheme, Chairman of the
foundation, Hamzat Ahmadu, who was represented by the company’s Senior Manager,
Commercial Legal, Mr. Rotimi Odusola, said the initiative was part of the
company’s social responsibilities to the public irrespective of status or
background.
He said, “This initiative is predicated on our
belief that by accepting and empowering our fellow citizens, we are not only
performing a humane and noble deed, but are also contributing to the
socio-economic development of our country.
A man or a woman who is able to move around with
a wheelchair will be better able to engage in a meaningful income-generating
activity, thus earning a living and taking care of his family.
