Firm Donates N3m, Food Products To Blind Association 

Dufil Prima Foods, has reaffirmed its commitment to inclusion and community support for persons living with visual impairment and blindness with a donation of N3 million, food products and other materials to mark the 2026 International White Cane and Safety Day.

The contribution, presented in Lagos on October 16, 2026, included cartons of Indomie noodles, souvenirs, T-shirts, face caps and a mobile kitchen to support the event which celebrates the achievements of persons with visual impairment and promotes awareness of their mobility, independence and inclusion in society.

Speaking on the support, the chairman of the 2026 International White Cane and Safety Day Commemoration Planning Committee, Adeola Aina, expressed appreciation to Dufil Prima Foods, describing the donation as a significant contribution that made the occasion especially meaningful.

He noted that the company’s support demonstrated a commitment to recognising persons with visual impairment and including them in activities that promote their participation and wellbeing.

According to Group corporate communications and events general manager, Dufil Prima Foods Limited, Temitope Ashiwaju, the support extends beyond financial and material donations to helping address practical challenges faced by visually impaired persons.

Ashiwaju said the white cane plays an essential role in enabling independent mobility and helping users navigate their surroundings with greater confidence, stressing the importance of collaboration between corporate organisations and other stakeholders in addressing social challenges, as government alone cannot meet every community need.

He said the company representative noted that the intervention reflects Dufil Prima Foods’ belief that persons with disabilities should be included in society and have access to opportunities that enable them to thrive, adding that the company had supported similar initiatives in previous years and had maintained a longstanding relationship with organisations serving persons with visual impairment, including the Society for the Blind, over the past 10 to 15 years.

The company said the initiative forms part of its broader commitment to supporting inclusive communities and helping create an environment in which individuals can pursue opportunities regardless of disability.
