The donation, according to the Managing Director
of Arik Air, Mr Chris Ndulue, was part of the series of logistic assistance
programmes carried out by the airline to enhance security in its working
environment.
During the presentation at the headquarters of
the airline in Lagos, Ndulue said: “Arik Air is delighted to make this
presentation to the Police at the Airport as a token of our appreciation for
responding to our call anytime the officers and men are called upon. We are
indeed happy over this donation and we are looking forward to other things to
come. Once more, we urge you to continue to secure our airports to make
passengers’ traveling experience delightful. We embark on a lot of corporate
social responsibility projects, but this donation appears obvious because of the
publicity it has attracted.”
Exuding excitement, the police chief thanked Arik
Air for the gesture, which he described as unique. Salau added that the police
were highly encouraged by the donation, noting: “The police are very excited and
grateful over this van donation by Arik Air. This is historic, the very first
van donation from any domestic airline.
“We are very happy and will immediately deploy
this vehicle for patrol to ensure smooth operations around the airport and
ensure it is free of criminal activities. We will try to reduce criminal
activities around the airport drastically.”
