Some of the beneficiaries of the items include members of the Brand Writers Association of Nigeria (BJAN), the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and petty traders among others.
The motive behind the gesture according to the advertising body is to ease the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking at the presentation of the relief items at ADVAN Head Office in Ikeja, the Executive Secretary of the Association, Mrs. Ediri Ose-Ediale said the association will also endeavour to reach out to others within its reach to help uplift the vulnerable in the society.
“This is the little way the association can help to reduce the burden of the pandemic on those that are in critical condition as a result of our present challenge,” she said.
In his response, BJAN Chairman, Mr. Princewill Ekwujuru thanked ADVAN for its kind gesture.
Ekwujuru said, the support given to the members of his association would go a long way in ameliorating the hardship being faced by journalists especially in this period of COVID-19 pandemic.
