On Thursday, November 12, 2026, the Lagos Food Bank Initiative (LFBI) welcomed NOLT Finance Company Ltd. for its first partnership with the Food Bank, providing essential food support to households facing food insecurity through the Temporary Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) at the LFBI warehouse in Mangoro, Ikeja.

With over five years of operations, the NOLT Finance, a Nigerian boutique finance house provides lending, investment, and advisory solutions to SMEs, salaried professionals, government employees, annuitants, and investors. The outreach formed part of its Corporate Social Responsibility efforts, extending the company’s commitment to supporting individuals and communities beyond its core financial services.

The engagement began with a tour of the LFBI facility, where the NOLT Finance team learned about the Food Bank’s operations and the programs through which it responds to food insecurity. Following the tour, the team joined LFBI staff and volunteers in packaging food boxes for distribution to registered beneficiaries. Their participation contributed directly to preparing essential food support for households in need.

Iremide George, Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications at NOLT Finance, addressed the gathering on behalf of the company, sharing its perspective on the partnership and its commitment to supporting community-focused initiatives.

The Lagos Food Bank Initiative also recognised the presence and support of NOLT Finance’s leadership, including Mr. Babatunde Dada, Managing Director and Founder, and Mr. Robert Ijewere, Executive Director and Co-Founder.

For the resilient women and households reached through the program, the food boxes provided essential items to support their daily household needs. At a time when the cost of feeding a family can place considerable pressure on limited resources, the assistance offered practical relief.

LFBI appreciates NOLT Finance for choosing to mark its first partnership with the Food Bank through direct support for families experiencing food insecurity. While the company works to expand financial opportunities for individuals and businesses, this engagement demonstrated another dimension of community support: helping households meet an immediate and essential need.

Through TEFAP and its other food assistance interventions, Lagos Food Bank Initiative continues to work with partners to improve access to food and respond to the needs of underserved communities.
