Abia State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission has donated money and various items to a disabilities association and charity homes in the state as part of its corporate social responsibilities.
The beneficiaries are Joint Association of Persons With Disabilities, Ukwa West local government area, and Ahiaeke and Ngwa Road Motherless Babies Homes, Umuahia, the state capital.
Addressing them at their various bases, the general manager (GM) of the commission, Joshua Onyeike, assured that the commission was committed to touching the lives of the people.
Represented by the director of Social Welfare, Amarachi Isaac-Nwachukwu, he said the commission had embarked on several areas of activities in the oil producing communities and beyond.
He said the areas include construction and reconstruction of roads, civic centre and halls, school blocks, hospital and market stalls, and distribution of agricultural inputs among others.
The GM, who commended the governor, Alex Otti for his administration’s support for the commission, urged the people to sustain their loyalty and support to the governor and the administration.
In a response, the leader of the association, John Ndudim, lauded Otti, Onyike, and the commission for the donations, calling for more inclusion in the commission’s interventions.
