Jik, one of Nigeria’s manufacturers of hygienic products, has donated some products to Ogun State Government in furtherance of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and part of the brand’s contributions to the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in the state.
According to the bleach product brand, the donation serves as support for the state government’s stimulus package to soften the economic impact of the pandemic on its citizens and has become necessary after Ogun State commenced its lockdown on Friday, April 3rd, 2020.
Speaking on the gesture, the General Manager, RB West Africa, Mr. Dayanand Sriram said, “RB is proud to support Ogun State Government’s stimulus package and the distribution of relief materials to citizens across the state during the lockdown.
“This contribution is in line with Jik’s long term mission of helping Nigerian households maintain good hygiene and a clean environment that helps to curb the spread of infectious diseases caused by germs.”
“We will continue to support the Federal and State Governments, as well as the health authorities’ efforts in the fight against COVID-19”, the industrialist assured.
Jik, a member of the group of popular household brands by Reckitt Benckiser, continues to play an important role in the sensitisation of citizens on the dangers of germs attracted by stains on surfaces and the importance of healthy hygiene practices in Nigeria.
Prince Dapo Abiodun, the Ogun State Governor, while assuring citizens that the stimulus package would be distributed to the poor and the vulnerable in the state, revealed that the items comprised food items and other hygiene products including stain removers, antibacterial soaps, and hand sanitizers.
