Multi-Links Telkom Distribute Wheelchairs in Enugu, Anambra States

Multi-Links Telkom has distributed wheelchairs to the physically challenged in Enugu and Onitsha, Anambra State at three separate ceremonies in the pursuit of its Corporate Social Responsibility investments (CSRi).

 The events were witnessed by the wives of the Governor and Deputy Governor of Enugu State, the representative of the Obi of Onitsha, the Chief Medical Directors (CMDs) of Enugu State University Teaching Hospital, National Orthopaedic Hospital, Enugu and the General Hospital, Onitsha amongst other dignitaries.

Mrs. Clara Chibuizor Chime, first lady of Enugu State commended Multi-Links Telkom for its passionate commitment to enhancing the quality of lives of the less privileged members of the society.

She made this remark in Enugu during the presentation of Wheelchairs by the management of Multi-Links Telkom to the physically challenged at the Enugu State University Teaching Hospital, Parklane, Enugu.

Accompanied by Mrs. Nneka Onyebuchi , wife of the deputy governor, and a host of other dignitaries, she expressed her joy at the opportunity to witness Multi-Links’ very laudable efforts to restore hope to the physically challenged through the presentations of the wheelchairs provided by Multi-Links Telkom.

According to her, “the need for mobility aids for persons disabled by accident cannot be overemphasized. Some accident victims have been confined to a place due to the absence of mobility aids. However, with the donation of wheelchairs by Multi-Links Telecommunications Ltd, there is no doubt that this group of people will be able to move around, participate in day-to-day activities, and thus, contribute effectively to society notwithstanding their disabilities.

She also commended the management of Multi-Links Telkom for also providing free mobile phones to each of the beneficiaries of the wheelchairs. “It is therefore laudable that Multi-Links has deemed it necessary to also provide phones for this vulnerable group of people. This gesture will definitely go a long way towards improving the lives of the beneficiaries. Armed with their phones and wheelchairs I am sure the sky will be their limit,” she said.

Multi-Links Telkom had provided wheelchairs, mobile phones and free airtime to the beneficiaries of its Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives.
The wife of the Governor urged all the beneficiaries to make use of the facilities provided by Multi-Links Telkom creditably.

The Chief Medical Director of ESUTH called on other corporate organizations to emulate the good spirited initiative of Multi-Links Telkom. According to him, it is not often that organizations remember the downtrodden for such health interventions at the level of investments by Multi-Links Telkom. Similar comments were made by the CMDs of the National Orthopaedic Hospital (Dr C.B.Eze), Enugu and the General Hospital, Onitsha.
In her welcome message, Multi-Links Telkom’s Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Mrs. Ijeoma Abazie said that the company is committed to spreading its goodwill throughout the country where its services are currently available. She said that apart from providing integrated telecommunications solutions, Multi-Links Telkom would identify and seek as much as possible to address areas of need in Nigeria’s communities.
Also speaking at the event, the Chief Operations Officer, Multi-Links Telkom, Dr. Setumo Mohapi stated that the company is committed to helping less privileged members of society. According to him, Multi-Links Telkom has made it a business decision to always partner with the communities in Nigeria for development. He stressed that Multi-Links Telkom is committed to living its pay off line of Touching Lives by ensuring that the lives of the people in the communities of its operations are positively touched.
It was carnival like at Parklane Hospital as the women in the entourage of the First Lady of Enugu sang, danced and praised the brand for bringing relief to the downtrodden in the state. Some of the beneficiaries could not hold back tears of joy as they were helped to the wheel chairs by the First Lady, relatives, health workers and Multi-Links Telkom staff. Some of them said that Multi-Links Telkom has brought them unquantifiable relief, peace of mind and made them proud owners of their first wheelchairs and in some cases, mobile phones.
From ESUTH, Parklane, to Orthopaedic Enugu and General Hospital, Onitsha it was an overflow of prayers and praises by the beneficiaries who thronged the venues for the free wheelchairs and mobile phones.
