MOMAN Chairman, Olumide Adeosun, who was represented by MOMAN Chief Executive Officer, Clement Isong, presented a N50 million check to the Nigerian Red Cross Society at a ceremony in Abuja. Adeosun described the recent flooding incidents as a disaster that did not appear to be receiving the national attention it deserved.
He stated that the images depicting the utter destruction of communities in many regions of Nigeria are horrifying and emphasized the necessity for corporate organizations to provide assistance.
“In previous emergencies such as COVID-19, Nigerians rallied round each other but with the floods, the rest of the world appears to be taking things more serious than Nigeria is.
“It is sad that the flooding which I see as a humanitarian disaster is not treated with the seriousness it deserves,” Isong said.
