He assured that the items would be deployed for the purpose they are meant for.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv7671988344MsoNormal\">\u201cI want to place on record that as a government, we are pleased with Ecobank, the pan African bank for identifying with the good people of Lagos state at this moment of need. We will ensure the distribution is transparent and the items get to the indigent people who are vulnerable and therefore most affected by the lockdown. I enjoin Lagosians to continue in their cooperation with the state government\u2019s several initiatives at checking the spread of the global pandemic such as the lockdown and\u00a0 social distancing campaign. There is light at the end of the tunnel\u201d. The Governor stated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv7671988344MsoNormal\">Earlier, Managing Director, Ecobank Nigeria, Patrick Akinwuntan who was represented by Head, Agribusiness, Moji Oguntoyinbo, said the donation is part of the bank\u2019s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives to support those in need within the environment where the bank does business. He disclosed that the Bank is doing similar donation to other states across the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv7671988344MsoNormal\"><b>Photo Caption<\/b><\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p class=\"yiv7671988344MsoNormal\"><b><u><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u><\/b>Left: Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Agriculture, Ms Abisola Olusanya; Lagos State Commissioner for Agriculture, Prince Gbolahan Lawal; Head, Agribusiness, Ecobank Nigeria, Moji Oguntoyinbo and Regional Head, Lagos Mainland, Ecobank Nigeria, Christopher Olusola during the presentation of food items by Ecobank Nigeria to the Lagos State Government in Ikeja on Monday<\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv7671988344MsoNormal\"><b><u><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"yiv7671988344MsoNormal\"><u><\/u><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo- Olu has commended Ecobank Nigeria for donating food items to support the state government\u2019s relief efforts to mitigate the effects of the lockdown on citizens due to the coronavirus.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":39707,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[6896],"coauthors":[2391],"class_list":["post-39706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-news","tag-covid-19"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.9 -
