IWD: SIFAX Group Takes Outreach To Ijora Community

donates food Items to 500 Residents

As part of efforts to cushion the impact of the economy on the people, SIFAX Group has donated food items to 500 residents of the Ijora community in Lagos State.

SIFAX Group is a leading business conglomerate with business interests in maritime, aviation, oil & gas, financial services, and hospitality, and the outreach is in line with activities to mark this year’s International Women’s Day celebration.

Speaking at the event, which took place at the Palace of the Oba of Ijora, SIFAX Group’s Executive Director, Business Development & Strategic Planning, Mrs. Wunmi Eniola-Jegede, explained that the donation became necessary due to the current economic reality as well as the need to identify with Christian and Muslim faithful in one of the company’s host communities.

“SIFAX Group has a reputation for supporting worthy causes across the country, especially in areas where we have operations. In the spirit of International Women’s Day and to support citizens who are currently fasting—Christians and Muslims—we decided to share these food items with indigent residents of Ijora. In a nutshell, it’s a way of giving back to society and the community where we operate,” Eniola-Jegede noted.

The SIFAX exe also used the opportunity to thank the community for the cooperation that has been extended to the company’s various business operations there.

On his part, the Ojora of Ijoraland, Oba Fatai Oyeyinka Ojora, lauded SIFAX Group for bringing smiles to his people, assuring that the community will continue to support the company’s operations, as he later prayed for the continuous progress of the company.
