Lagos, Nigerian Eagle Airlines Raise Funds for Haiti
Lagos donates $1m
01.19.2010

The Lagos State Government on Monday responded to the global appeal for aid for the earthquake victims in Haiti, as the State Executive Council launched an appeal fund with $1 million  (One Million Dollars) on behalf of the people and Government of the State.
According to a press statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Opeyemi Bamidele, the State Executive Council under the Chairmanship of Governor Babatunde Fashola (SAN) took the decision after a review of the plight of Haitians in the aftermath of the recent devastating earthquake in the country.

The Statement said the fund will be lodged at the Skye Bank Plc for subsequent transmission to the on-going aid programmes in Haiti adding that members of the State Executive Council have also made individual donations of N150,000 each in support of the fund while all well meaning members of the public and corporate organizations are also encouraged to support the fund.
Meanwhile, Nigerian Eagle Airlines, formerly Virgin Nigeria Airways,  is to introduce special on board envelopes on flights across its route network, to raise funds to support the ongoing humanitarian and rescue activities in Haiti. This, the airline said, is an integral part of its corporate social responsibility to help curtail the devastating effect of the earthquake, which affected Port-au-Prince and other neighbouring cities in Haiti.

While formally introducing the specially designed  envelopes in Lagos, the Airline's Chief Executive Officer, Captain Dapo Olumide, said the Airline is deeply concerned about the scale of disaster left in the wake of the earthquake and pledged the airlines’ commitment towards raising funds to make a difference in the support of ongoing humanitarian activities.

He said, “Nigerian Eagle Airlines is a responsive and caring airline that pays serious attention to issues that concerns humanity; and it is our wish that this humble gesture to identify with  victims of the quake will bring succour, as well as improve the health conditions of the survivors through."
Olumide said  the airline has equally initiated discussions for  transfer of proceeds that will be realised through the medium provided by the airline.
He said network wide flights will be used as the vehicle to raise donations for the worthy humanitarian course, adding that the airline’s crop of dedicated staff are committed to the success of the fund raising programme to assuage the sufferings of the Haitians.

Nigerians are over here trashing their country over Senegal for doing what a state inside their own Nigeria actually did, helping out, but no words of praise for their own.


It's always about the bad, never the good right under their noses,

We are indeed funny, weird group of people and hypocrites,

Giving is Biblical especially in times like this.I commend the Lagos State government and RCCG for making donations to the poeple of Haiti in this trying times.But i think Nigeria should still do more especially the Federal government.USA is one of the greatest nations on the surface of the earth becos they always utilize such opportunities to provide men,money and materials needed by poeple in times of war and natural disasters.
Once again i congratulate Fash and urger other state governments,NGO's,Companies and Organizations to rise up and lend a helping hand to Haitians.
Peace out.

It is amazing, annoying and painful indeed. A lot of Nigerians only choose to see the bad and ignore the good. And they claim to be doing it to make things better.

Turai Yaradua is going to build a specialist Cancer Hospital in Abuja, Politicians from all nooks and corners of Nigeria, where falling on each other in other to out bid one and another.

120 Nigerian Police officers are currently serving in the UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti, am loving it. Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Alhaji Jibril Maigari yesterday said Nigeria will donate food items and other relief materials to the people of Haiti.
