In a demonstration of its commitment to creating lasting social impact, G. Elias , a leading Nigerian business law firm, recently organised community outreach activities in Lagos and Abuja targeting critical needs in healthcare and vocational training in local communities. The outreach which marked one of the activities of the firm’s 30th anniversary included visits to the Lagos Island Maternity Hospital, the Surulere Local Government Institute of Vocational Education in Lagos, and the Federal Medical Centre Jabi in Abuja.
At the Lagos Island Maternity Hospital and the Federal Medical Centre Jabi, Abuja, the firm provided financial assistance to women requiring surgery due to post-natal complications, many of whom were unable to leave the hospital due to overwhelming medical bills. By covering these expenses, the firm helped reunite mothers with their families and alleviated a significant financial burden that could have had lasting consequences. In addition, the firm also supported students at the Surulere Local Government Institute of Vocational Education covering registration fees for students enrolled at the institute for trainings in vocational skills such as shoemaking ICT, event management and catering, hairdressing, and fashion design.
Fidelis Adewole, Managing Partner at G. Elias, emphasised the broader vision behind these initiatives, “At G. Elias, we are deeply invested in creating avenues for individuals to overcome obstacles and realise their full potential.
