The telecommunications services company Airtel Nigeria has announced the kick-off of the 2023 edition of its long-running community feeding programme, ‘5 Days of Love’.
The initiative, which is in its 9th edition, will focus on distributing packed meals in five days to 6,000 people across six Nigerian states: Lagos, Rivers, Kano, Imo, Kwara, and Abuja.
1,000 people, including children, women, youth, and the elderly, will be served meals daily in an atmosphere that captures the festive mood of the season.
Disclosing this to the media today, Tuesday, in Lagos, the Director, Corporate Communications & CSR, Mr Femi Adeniran, said that through the initiative, the telco aims to share happiness and celebrate with the people in the communities where it operates.
“The 5 Days of Love campaign is beyond an activity where we distribute meals. It is an avenue for us to celebrate the festive season with the people around us in an electrifying atmosphere of fun, good entertainment, and love
We believe that little things can make a difference, and this is why, at Airtel, we have committed ourselves to the act of sharing and celebrating this end of the year as good neighbours,” Adeniran said.
He added that the gesture is also aimed at encouraging others to reach out to the less privileged during this festive period.
Also speaking at the event, Director of Distribution, Airtel Nigeria, Ifeoma Okafor-Obi, stated that despite the difficult times being faced by families and organisations, the company will continue its long-standing tradition of ensuring that the vulnerable in society also share in the experience of the festive season.
This year’s edition is expected to kick off in Lagos on Wednesday, December 13, 2023, followed by other states.
