Responding on behalf of the General Manager of LASODA, Mrs. Sonubi expressed appreciation to Bond FM for the generous donation. She assured the management of the radio station that the items would be distributed transparently across disability clusters, registered disability homes, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and eligible individuals with disabilities to ensure they reach the intended beneficiaries.
The presentation was attended by the Head of News and Current Affairs at Bond FM, Mr. Abiodun Elugbaju; the News and Current Affairs Officer, Mr. Adeyemi Adesanya; and members of the LASODA management team.
