The initiative, now in its 10th edition, will provide packed meals over five days in Lagos, Rivers, Kano, Imo, Kwara, and Abuja, benefitting 1,000 individuals per state.

The program aims to support vulnerable communities and bring people together during the festive season.

The ‘5 Days of Love’ campaign began in 2015, initially serving 10 orphanages across Nigeria. It has since expanded to multiple towns and cities, with Airtel partnering with fast-food vendors to deliver food and drinks to the public.

This year’s theme, ‘5 Days; 6 Cities; 6,000 Meals,’ reflects Airtel Nigeria’s dedication to enriching lives through meaningful community engagement, fostering togetherness, and contributing to the well-being of Nigerians.

Speaking on this year’s edition of the project, Airtel Nigeria CEO, Dinesh Balsingh, represented by Lagos Regional Operations Director, Airtel Nigeria, Peter Francis, emphasized that the broader significance of the 5 Days of Love festive period program was beyond meal distribution.

“At Airtel, we pride ourselves in being a people-centred organization.

This event is not only about providing meals; it is a meaningful way to connect with communities, share moments of warmth, joy, and togetherness, and create a vibrant atmosphere of celebration and love.

Today reminds us of the core values of joy, love, kindness, and shared humanity that define this initiative and Airtel’s mission. Together, we can continue to make a lasting positive impact.”

Following the successful completion of Lagos event, the 5 Days of Love train moves to Borno on Tuesday, 17th December; Abuja on Wednesday, 18th December; and Enugu and Rivers States on Thursday, 19th December; before concluding in Osun State on Friday, 20th December 2024.

“This is a remarkable act of kindness, and I appreciate Airtel for its dedication to uplifting lives and spreading love to individuals. I am grateful to Airtel Nigeria for spreading joy to us in this part of Lagos,” he said.

The 5 Days of Love campaign reflects Airtel Nigeria’s commitment to enriching the lives of Nigerians through meaningful community engagement and support.
