RED Star delivers food items to less privileged communities

In line with its Corporate Social Responsibility policy, Red Star Express Plc, one of Nigeria’s foremost logistics solutions providers, has been involved in the delivery of food items to several less-privileged communities in Lagos and Ogun states.

According to Sola Obabori, company’s group managing director, these efforts were made to support families and communities affected unfavorably by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Over the last few weeks, we have been working with some organizations to deliver food items. Some of these organizations include farm shops, religious organizations and Non-Profit Organizations (NGOs). For example, we have made a few deliveries for the United Way Greater Nigeria organization. These organizations are keen to reach as many families and communities as possible to deliver food items that can provide relief in a tough time like this. We have been to various communities to deliver items like rice, beans, palm oil and groundnut oil,” he added.
