The management of Dangote Cement Plant, Obajana, has handed over a security house worth millions of Naira to Kogi State House of Assembly.
Speaking during the handing over of the security house in Lokoja on Thursday, the Plant Director of Dangote Cement Plant Obajana, Engr Azad Nawabuddin described the gesture as one of the corporate social responsibilities (CSR) of the company towards host communities.
Nawabuddin, who was represented by the General Manager Human Assets, Mr Adeniyi Azeez, stressed the importance of security, pointing out that interacting with a porous organization is not safe.
He stated that the gesture would engender robust relationship between the company and Kogi Assembly.
He assured that the gesture was not the end as more co-operations and support would be extended to the state and House of Assembly in particular.
Speaker, Kogi State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Yusuf Umar appreciated the gesture and described the fire incidence that previously razed down the assembly complex as unfortunate.
While stressing the importance of security to lives and properties, the Speaker noted that the donation would go down in history, saying the company has written its name in gold in the annals of Kogi State.
He added that the facility would go a long way to enhance the security of assembly complex.
In a remark, the Clerk and Head of Legislative Service of Kogi Assembly, Alh Chogudo Sule Ahmed reiterated the appreciation of staff and management but requested for furniture and office facilities for the security house.
He said the requests were urgently needed to enhance the jobs of the security men.
