Nyong stated that the presentation of the tricycles and cash support is to further show that Lekki Gardens Limited is a socially responsible corporate organization that is committed to empowering individuals and giving back to the society in which it operates.

“Having ensured that the survivors of the incident received adequate medical care and are back on their feet, Lekki Gardens Limited decided to partner with a reputable Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) – Jakins NGO to identify ways through which the company can empower and contribute meaningfully to the lives of the survivors. We believe that if this investment is put to proper use, they can support themselves and their families,” he said.

He further stated that the company also has plans for the families of the deceased as a way to compensate them for their losses but noted that this would be pending the investigation of the police and identification of the deceased.
