Millions of Naira worth of relief supplies were donated by International Breweries Plc to the flood victims in the Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State. Daily necessities including branded bags of rice, malt cans, cartons of spaghetti, and cartons of vegetable oil were among the commodities. Over the weekend, the supplies were delivered to Chinedu Okosa, the camp manager.
International Breweries Plc’s Corporate Affairs Manager, Damian Igwe, expressed sympathy to the populace and the Anambra State Government for the loss of lives and property while speaking at the handover of products.
“This is one of our corporate social responsibility interventions,” Igwe said. The goal is to assist the displaced residents of Ogbaru LGA by providing emergency supplies, primarily food. We are moved by the people’s suffering and are simply acting with the compassion that a socially conscious organization would show in such a situation.
Fidelis Igwe, Plant Manager of International Breweries Plc in Onitsha, also commented. He said the community of Ogbaru had been a wonderful host to the firm and that the company felt it was its duty to assist them during this tough time. “It’s good that we return favors when they are due. We believed it was crucial to provide the neighborhood with something to keep them going,” he said.
The camp manager, Chinedu Okosa, thanked International Breweries Plc for the gift after accepting it. Okosa reported that 1,046 displaced people from 647 homes have occupied all the flats in the two buildings supplied by Hon. Chuchu Onyema, who represents the Ogbaru Federal Constituency.
Due to the lack of sufficient facilities in the camp, Okosa pleaded with the state and Ogbaru Local Governments to do more for the displaced people.
One of the displaced, Miss Chioma Okeke, expressed excitement at returning home to pursue her studies. “Since I am meant to be in school learning alongside other students, I have lost a lot of scholastic ground. The rest of the world is cut off from my neighborhood, she claimed.
The premium goods produced by International Breweries Plc include Hero Lager, Trophy Lager, Trophy Extra Stout, Beta Malt, and Grand Malt, among others.
