Chairman, BBA Presidential Committee on Charity, Chief Joachim Okwudiri Okonkwo and members paid a charity visit to Kirikiri Correctional Centre, Lagos where various gifts were donated to inmates.

He said the visit was a way of  expressing gratitude to God for his faithfulness to members in their businesses despite the hardship of COVID -19 pandemic and to assure those in the correctional centre  that their welfare was of great concern to some Nigerians.

Deputy Comptroller of the correctional centre, Mr. Frank Okonkwo who received  the items thanked the delegation for their generosity.

Also on the delegation were Ego Obiageli, financial secretary and Gozie Michael, secretary of the committee.
