Speaking to journalists at the Lagos Food Bank Initiative (LFBI) office in Ikeja, the general manager of Cornerstone Insurance Plc,  Charles Nwachukwu, reaffirmed the company’s dedication to improving the welfare of underserved communities.

“We are proud to be part of this laudable initiative to give a sense of belonging to our school children, especially the less privileged children this Valentine.

There is no better time to do this than now.

“It is time to show love to the people of our immediate community through insurance. Our slogan this period is “Show Love with Insurance”. We need to affect our environment positively by showing love and giving to help those who are in need,” Nwachukwu said.

Similarly, the head of Marketing and Corporate Communications at Cornerstone Insurance Plc, Cordelia Ekeocha explained that the foundation’s logo represents a caring hand, hence the ongoing commitment to making a difference through partnerships with NGOs.

“Since 2013, we have been working with different Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and institutions in various ways to impact the lives of the people in our immediate communities,” she said.

In his response, the executive director of LFBI, Dr. Michael Sunbola, commended Cornerstone Insurance Foundation for its support and encouraged further collaboration in the future.

Lagos Food Bank, through initiatives like the EduFood Programme, continues to fight hunger, reduce food waste, and address malnutrition, particularly among pregnant women and young children in underserved communities, he stressed.
