LAGOS, Nigeria
For more than 400 households in Majidun, Ikorodu, Lagos State, World
Food Day brought practical support for a daily concern shared by many
families: putting food on the table. On 17 October 2026, JMG Limited
partnered with the Lagos Food Bank Initiative to provide food assistance
to households in the community, reaffirming the importance of collective
action in tackling hunger and supporting vulnerable households.
The outreach, organised under the Temporary Food Assistance Programme
(TEFAP), provided essential food supplies to families facing food
insecurity, offering practical relief and helping ease the pressure of
meeting everyday household needs.
For JMG Limited, a company known for electromechanical solutions,
the initiative was an opportunity to extend its work beyond businesses
and industries to the people and communities whose wellbeing matters
just as much.
Activities began at the Lagos Food Bank Initiative’s headquarters,
where members of JMG’s leadership team and staff joined volunteers to
package food items for distribution. The team was welcomed by the
organisation’s Executive Director, Dr Michael Sunbola, alongside
Samita Keshinro, Muame Agbosi and other staff members and volunteers,
who also conducted a tour of the facility.
The team subsequently proceeded to Majidun, where the outreach commenced
with the Lagos Food Bank Initiative pledge, reaffirming the shared
commitment to supporting vulnerable households and alleviating hunger.
Speaking at the event, JMG’s Chief Operating Officer, Christian G.
Kozma, highlighted the importance of supporting women and recognising
their contributions to society.
“Today, we are supporting communities in Ikorodu as part of the World
Food Day celebration, with the goal of reaching more than 400 women.
Women are central to every society, from birth through every stage of
life, and at JMG, we recognise their importance. Women occupy critical
and sensitive positions within our organisation, and this outreach is
another way of demonstrating our support for women and their
advancement.”
JMG’s Chief Human Resources Officer, Gloria Ibeziako, noted that
tackling hunger requires shared commitment from individuals, businesses
and communities.
“At JMG, we believe in empowerment, care and shared responsibility. It
is a source of pride to contribute to putting food on the tables of
families who need support. Hunger is real, and every individual and
organisation can play a role in reducing it. Together, we can create
opportunities and bring relief to families in need.”
Dr Sunbola commended JMG for partnering with the Lagos Food Bank
Initiative to provide direct assistance to families at the community
level.
“Hundreds of families are receiving food boxes today that can support
a family of five for more than two to three weeks. At a time when many
struggling families do not know where their next meal will come from,
this gesture by JMG brings hope, relief and joy. We appreciate JMG for
making a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable women and
families.”
For residents, the support was a welcome gesture at a time when the cost
of feeding a family remains a concern. Morenike Adigun, a beneficiary,
expressed her appreciation for the intervention.
“I am grateful to JMG and the Lagos Food Bank Initiative for
remembering women in our community. The food support will go a long way
in helping us provide for our families and ease some of the pressure of
putting meals on the table. We sincerely appreciate this gesture and
hope more initiatives like this will reach families who need them.”
The Baale of Majidun Community, Chief Alex Olusegun Omoyele, also
expressed appreciation to JMG and the Lagos Food Bank Initiative for
bringing support to residents and helping ease the burden on local
households.
Through the partnership, JMG demonstrated how corporate responsibility
can translate into practical support for people facing everyday
challenges. While its core business focuses on delivering power and
electromechanical solutions, the company recognises that contributing to
stronger communities also means responding to basic needs and supporting
initiatives that improve lives.
