She said the NBC recognises the immense potential that women held, not only as contributors to the workforce but as catalysts for societal progress and economic growth.

“Within our entire value chain, a remarkable 70 per cent of our workforce comprises women with our leadership team being 40 per cent female.

“Our dedication to empowering women and youth goes beyond corporate responsibility; it is an integral component of our vision to catalyse positive change in Nigeria,” she said.

Nwokolo, one of the recipients, expressed her gratitude for the cash grant from NBC.

She described the funding as a game changer for her foundation.

She added that the development would greatly enhance her ability to create opportunities for other young women, foster innovation, and contribute to the overall economic development of the country.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that NBC has consistently taken the lead in implementing transformative initiatives that enhance the lives of women and youths in the country, empowering them to make substantial contributions to their families and communities.

In 2021, the company, in collaboration with its parent company, Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company, unveiled a €1 million fund dedicated to supporting community empowerment and social impact programs in Nigeria. (NAN)
