Presenting the items to the General Manager of the Agency, Jide Oduyoye, the General Manager, Seagreen Pharmaceutical Nigeria Limited, Dr. Ikenna Enwelunta said the gesture was part of the company’s corporate social responsibility.

Enwelunta, who said it took the action because of the risk LASTMA officials were exposed to in road traffic management, described the donation  as a worthy humanitarian cause.

According to him, it chose LASTMA because of their activities and  contributions to the state.

“There is no doubt their contribution is felt in the society, especially in the transport sector in a state like Lagos, with our intimidating population. If one could observe these people in the sun and in the rain, standing from morning to night in their quest to ensure there is a free flow of traffic, one will have no option than to agree that they should be motivated and encouraged, hence our reason for coming here today, so as to reach them, partner with them and find a way of making their work easier and smoother”, he said.
