Aside from the brand’s
representatives that were on hand, alongside the Governor’s wife to herald the
birth of the first babies in General Hospitals at Ijede, Agbowa, Ketu-Ejirin and
the Lagos Island Maternity Hospital, the company also made presentation of
gifts to the first babies of the year through the first lady.
According to Femi Fapohunda,
the Chief Operating Officer for Mouka, the company’s effort is in line with
Mouka’s corporate social responsibility.
“This is our own way of
identifying with the state’s noble agenda of giving back to the society as well
as supporting mothers whose child delivery marks an auspicious beginning for
the New Year,” Fapohunda said.
Reacting to Mouka’s gesture
of goodwill, Mrs. Sanwo-Olu hailed the effort as commendable and urged other
organizations to emulate the mattress manufacturer.
“I thank our sponsors… for
supporting the state government through this annual event. This happens to be
my first official assignment and I thank them for giving their support,” the
first lady said.
Meanwhile, the company also
made similar presentations to first babies in University College Hospital, UCH,
Ibadan and Adeoyo Hospital, Yemetu, Ibadan both in Oyo State; and Obafemi
Awolowo University, Teaching Hospitals Complex, OAUTHC, Ile-Ife, Osun State.
Welcoming the first baby of
the year is a symbolic event in Lagos State. Each year, the state government
focuses its first activities of the New Year on health care, as the Governor’s
wife and relevant officials spend few hours with mothers and their babies born
on the first day of the New Year in hospitals across the state where such births
have been recorded.
Mouka’s partnership with the
state government, on this year’s occasion which happens to be the first in the
life of the Sanwo-Olu administration, is also to acknowledge the efforts of the
Government in the health sector and in keeping with Mouka’s mission of adding
comfort to life.
