LBSAA & COVID-19 Alumni Classes aid in the fight against the Pandemic
A
s scientists all over the world race to find a vaccine for the rapidly spreading COVID-19 pandemic, the strain it puts on the society cannot be overlooked. The coronavirus has halted a large percentage of economic activities with the larger bulk of the effects being felt by informal sectors. The ripple effect of this is an increasing level of poverty and hunger especially among vulnerable members of the society: the unemployed, the homeless, the aged, and those who survive on daily wages. Following the tenets of their association and adhering to the mission of their Alma Mata to render service to society, the alumni of Lagos Business School Alumni Association came together, in their various classes, to alleviate the distress felt by various communities in desperate need for basic necessities. We attempt to chronicle the activities of these brave and gallant heroes in this feature and commend their efforts as they continue to spread the oasis of sanity in an increasingly chaotic world. AGMP 13: Food outreach to families in Bariga AGMP 13 class delivered food items to 50 families in Bariga, in what is to be the first phase of food distribution to several communities.
