disabilities in Gombe benefited from
Indomie Noodles Company free artificial
legs and hands in the state.
The Chairman, Gombe State Joint
Association of people living with
disabilities, Alhaji Ali Goro, made the
disclosure in an interview with the News
Agency of Nigeria on Wednesday.
Goro said the gesture was sponsored by
Indomie Noodles Company in Kano,
adding that the state government
assisted the association with
transportation and stipend for feeding.
He said initially 288 members of the
association went to Kano from Gombe,
but 20 did not pass the screening, while
268 were successful.
Goro said another batch would benefit
from the gesture very soon.
"Word alone cannot express our sincere
gratitude because to fix an artificial hand
alone can cost you N250,000 while the
leg can also be about N180,000.
"Indomie noodles company has really
touched our hearts and the gesture is
worthy of emulation,'' he said.
According to him, the gesture was part
of their corporate social responsibility.
He also called on wealthy individual in
the society and non-governmental
organisations to emulate the gesture.
