United Nigeria Airlines' Okonkwo Donates Healthcare Centre in Ekiti

Prof. Obiora Okonkwo, the Executive Chairman of United Nigeria Airlines, donated a primary healthcare centre and a solar-powered borehole to the Aso-Ayegunle community in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State. This initiative is part of the airline's corporate social responsibility efforts and aims to strengthen ties with the state.

The decision to provide these facilities stemmed from the airline management team's annual retreat in Ekiti State in January, where they identified the community's needs for better access to water and healthcare. During the inauguration on Monday, Okonkwo praised Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji for his swift support in approving the project.

He noted that 90 percent of the construction work was carried out by local residents, emphasizing the importance of local participation in development initiatives. Okonkwo also mentioned that United Nigeria Airlines is committed to further supporting the community and enhancing its cargo operations to aid Ekiti's agricultural economy.

Governor Oyebanji acknowledged the partnership between the government and private sector as crucial for community welfare.
