ANAN Donates Food Items To Ibara Correctional Centre - The Alternative News

 




  As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives (CSR), Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN), Ogun State branch, has donated cash and food items, including toiletries to Nigeria Correctional Centre, Ibara, Abeokuta.

  Presenting the items at the Correctional Centre, Chairman of the Association, Alhaja Taibat Alimi, said the gesture was the Association's way of extending a hand of friendship to the inmates as well as to support them in the face of the challenging rise in the price of food items and other commodities.

She stated that National Headquarters of ANAN had set aside October 14 yearly as a day to identify  with the  less privileged and down trodden in the society by way of  impacting their lives meaningfully , noting that the gesture would be a continuous exercise that would support people in that category that really needed assistance.

Alhaja Alimi said this year theme; tagged ' Driving Sustainable Impact Through Accountable Policy Implementation’, was to positively impact the lives of the inmates and to let them know that human being deserves the opportunity to reform,  grow and to contribute meaningfully to the society even in places the world often overlooked.

 "Indeed, it is our pleasure to visit this facility and I want to say to our brothers and sisters residing here that the road to rebuilding lives doesn’t begin after regaining freedom, it begins here, that is why CSR must be about creating structures of support. We believe that, by virtue of our training as Accountants, we uphold values in ethics, stewardship and public trust which all have a role to play in national transformation, including the lives within the correctional system," she said.

The ANAN Chairman further stated that the donation was in fulfillment and continuation of service to humanity by the Association towards complementing government’s efforts on poverty alleviation, a decision taken when the Association was established.

In his response, officer in charge, Deputy Controller, Old Correctional Centre, Mr. Ojo Sanni, thanked the Association for the gesture, urging well-meaning individuals at home and in the diaspora to come to their aid, especially in the areas of medications and education of the inmates.
