NPA Chair Empowers Over 300 People With Items Worth Millions Of Naira

Posted on April 16, 2023 By Admin No Comments on NPA Chair Empowers Over 300 People With Items Worth Millions Of Naira
The items and beneficiaries posing with what they got.

Chairman, Board of Directors of Nigeria Ports Authority, NPA, Akin Ricketts, has under the empowerment initiative of the NPA under its Corporate Social Responsibility and Social Intervention Scheme, donated motorcycles, sewing machines, grinding machines, welding Machines and wheelchairs to more than 300 persons in the 13 council wards in Yakurr LGA, Cross River Central.

Ricketts, who spoke exclusively with www.calitown.com, maintained that this empowerment was a deliberate approach on his part, to tap into NPA’s Corporate Social Responsibility and Social Intervention Scheme, a programme designed to bridge the unemployment gap as well as enhance the ideals behind the Federal Government’s Self Employment/Sustenance Strategy.

Managing Director of the Nigeria Port Authority, Mohammed Bello-Koko, represented by NPA’s Senior Manager, Procurement, Nigerian Ports Authority, Lagos, earlier charged the beneficiaries to be productive with the things they have received, assuring them of more empowerment in the future if this opportunity is well utilized. He came clear too that the aim was to ensure that youths are meaningfully engaged as a means to eradicating unemployment, poverty and crime in the society.

The beneficiaries who were drawn from the 13 council wards of the LGA, devoid of political party affiliation, praised this philanthropic gesture, considering the present socio-economic difficulties.

The well attended event witnessed an outpouring of praise and gratitude to Ricketts, a one time CRS Commissioner for Information.
