Energy company, Shell Petroleum has disclosed that it has started the distribution of relief materials worth one million naira to victims of flood ravaged communities in Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta and Imo States.
This was disclosed by the Media Relations Manager of the company, Mrs. Abimbola Essien-Nelson, on behalf of the company’s country Chairman, Shell Companies in Nigeria, Osagie Okunbor, through a press statement on Sunday in Lagos.
Okunbor, she said, urged other regional players to join the effort to provide relief materials for people affected by the recent floods and work together to help victims return to normalcy.
“Shell is providing these relief materials because we do not want you to go through this sad experience alone as government and concerned institutions continue to work to make life go back to normal.
“This must be a most horrifying period for you, not being able to go about your normal lives and being exposed to all manners of health and livelihood challenges.”
She also urged the affected people to utilise the services of the medical outreach of the company.
“They are very experienced and have been providing similar services across the Niger Delta to hundreds of thousands of people via our programmes,” she added.
