Group Donates Gas Cylinders To Women
The Liquefied Petroleum Group (LPG), Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), has donated 50 8.3kg gas cylinders free to women in Surulere area of the state.
The donation was made in collaboration with Quaint Agencies Limited, an engineering firm and Our Saviours Anglican Church, Surulere.
Speaking, the Managing Director, Quaint Agencies Limited, Mr Bambu Ademiluyi, said that the project was a social responsibility programme.
“This is a social responsibility programme which was borne out of the fact that Governor Babatunde Fashola gave out some cylinders free to Lagosians.
“The LPG group of the LCCI was the group that supplied all the 20,000; out of the profit that the group made, we decided to give out 1,5000 cylinders free to Lagosians.
“So, we decided to give out the cylinders in churches and mosques; we had given to the first set of beneficiaries at a mosque in Lagos on April 7.
“We intend to continue this project to about eight other locations of the state including Mushin, Ikeja, Lekki areas of the state,” he said.
The managing director said that the essence of the progrmame was to create the awareness that LPG was safe to use through the women to their various communities.
“The women are the main beneficiaries; it will affect their health positively and stretch their budget for fuel and LPG is cheaper and lasts longer,” he said.
