The Nigerian Armed Forces Resettlement Centre (NAFRC) in Lagos has promised to sustain the mutually beneficial relationship it has with Mouka, the leading manufacturer of mattresses, pillows, and other bedding products.
The NAFRC Commandant, Air Vice Marshall Adeniyi Herbert Ameshilola, gave this assurance when the company donated desktop computers and a public address system to the centre in commemoration of this year’s Armed Forces Remembrance Day celebrated on January 15.
He promised that the donated items would be judiciously utilised for the enhancement of the centre, which has over the years grown to become a good vocational training and skills acquisition resort for retired army personnel.
The military officer and others lauded the Mouka management team for their immense contribution to the NAFRC’s vision of attaining modern facilities for growth purposes.
In his remarks, while presenting the gift items to the organisation, the Chief Commercial Officer of Mouka, Mr Dimeji Osingunwa, who was accompanied by the company’s Head of Marketing, Tolu Olanipekun, and Senior Brand and Innovation Manager, Akeem Audu, reiterated that the company will continue to strengthen the existing relationship between both institutions by ensuring participation in its activities and support its vision of becoming a first-rate training institution for ex-servicemen and women.
He said Mouka has always extended its goodwill to the NAFRC through worthy donations, especially during the graduation ceremonies of vocational courses of ex-servicemen and women, sales of its products to the military personnel at discounted rates, and courtesy visits, which are necessitated when new commandants are appointed.
The Mouka team also visited the information and communication technology centre and other key areas within the NAFRC to see how the company can best further synergise.
