inDrive has provided relief materials valued at over N75 million to residents displaced by recent demolitions in parts of Lagos, as part of a humanitarian intervention aimed at supporting affected communities.
The intervention was carried out in partnership with the Tolu Aniwura Welfare Foundation, also known as GenerousMe, and took place at St. Paul Catholic Church, Ebute-Metta, where displaced residents gathered to receive assistance.
The initiative supported more than 2,000 beneficiaries, comprising families and individuals impacted by the demolitions. Items distributed during the exercise included food supplies, clothing, bedding, baby care products and educational materials. Some of the beneficiaries were also individuals who had previously participated in social impact programmes supported by inDrive.
According to inDrive Nigeria’s Country Representative, Timothy Oladimeji, the intervention reflects the company’s people-focused approach and its commitment to supporting communities during periods of hardship, particularly in emergency situations that disrupt livelihoods and access to basic needs.
He said the partnership with GenerousMe made it possible to respond quickly to the humanitarian needs arising from the demolitions, ensuring that affected residents received timely support.
Also speaking, the Partnerships Lead of GenerousMe, Adetola Alade, said the collaboration with inDrive ensured the coordinated and prompt delivery of relief materials to displaced residents, helping to ease the immediate challenges faced by those affected by the demolitions.
