Livebridge Launches Foundation To Cater For Vulnerable Nigerians

Livebridge Properties and Investment Limited has unveiled the Livebridge Care Foundation, formalising its years of community outreach to support underprivileged residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The foundation was launched at the company’s “Night of Elegance and Excellence” awards, which also featured staff graduations, music, and comedy, held in Abuja over the weekend.

At the event, the group managing director and chief executive officer, Dr Nwaneri Obinna Flaker, said the foundation would serve as a structured platform to deepen the company’s social interventions.
He said the organisation had, for more than five years, consistently reached out to vulnerable communities in Abuja, particularly those who lack access to basic healthcare, food and education.

Flaker recalled that the company had previously intervened in internally displaced persons’ settlements in Kaura, where it discovered poor living conditions, including the absence of potable water, toilet facilities, and basic healthcare.

“We moved in with doctors, provided free medical care, fed the people and also supported their school with learning materials,” he said.

He added that for the past two years, the company had carried out biannual outreach programmes to disabled persons’ communities, providing healthcare services, food items and wheelchairs to aid mobility.

According to him, institutionalising the initiative through a foundation would allow for greater focus and continuity.

“It is about giving this responsibility the attention it deserves, beyond just doing it in the name of the company,” he said.

The event also doubled as Livebridge’s end-of-year celebration, during which outstanding staff were rewarded for exceptional performance.

Flaker disclosed that staff rewards for the year totalled between N2.7 million and N2.8 million, excluding a special all-expenses-paid trip to Qatar for the company’s pinnacle performer, valued at over N5 million.

He said the firm had a long-standing culture of rewarding excellence, noting that high-performing employees had previously received cash gifts, cars and other incentives.

On the company’s economic impact, Flaker said Livebridge played a significant role in addressing Nigeria’s housing deficit while contributing to job creation and economic growth.

“Our construction activities engage artisans, labourers and suppliers, all of which contribute to economic activity and GDP growth,” he said.

He also revealed plans to expand the company’s operations into logistics and related departments.

One of the award recipients, Ibrahim Abdulazeez, who won the Qatar trip, expressed gratitude to the company’s management, attributing his achievement to the training and support he received.

“I dedicate this award to my parents. It is by the grace of God and the encouragement from management,” he said.

He pledged to remain committed to excellence as competition intensifies ahead of the 2026 performance cycle.
