The wife of the Ogun State Governor, Olufunso Amosun, has commended Airtel Nigeria for initiating “Airtel Touching Lives”, aimed at assisting the less privileged.
In a statement on Friday in Lagos, Amosun said that the telecommunication company remained exemplary in its efforts to assist the less privileged individuals, communities and groups in the society.
She said that the Touching Lives programme was a laudable project, which had positive impact on the lives of people who were affected by one disability or unfavourable condition.
Amosun also commended the kind-heartedness and commitment of Airtel towards alleviating the suffering of Nigerians across the country.
She observed that Airtel Nigeria had over the years given huge support and generous donations to her orphanage.
She said: “You do not need to have a lot before you can touch the lives of others.
“If we all can assist the next person in our community, it will go a long way.
“Airtel has demonstrated kindness, care and love and we can all learn to share from the little we have in order to bring smile to the faces of others.”
The statement also said that the Deputy Governor of Osun State, Titilayo Laoye-Tomori, described the initiative as a powerful and touching programme.
Laoye-Tomori said: “It is a big venture that is highly commendable.
“Airtel, out of its genuine desire to assist the disadvantaged ones in our society, has taken from its purse to support the weak.”
The Season One of Airtel Touching Lives TV series is a 13-week episode scheduled to air on terrestrial and satellite television stations beginning from January 2015.
