A laboratory firm, Finlab Nigeria Limited, has carried out an empowerment programme that saw 122 indigent people from Imo State receiving empowerment packages as part of its 40th anniversary celebration.

The beneficiaries were given cash of N50,000 to N100,000 as grants to establish new businesses or expand their already established businesses.

Speaking at an event to mark the company’s 40th anniversary in Owerri, Imo State, the chief executive officer of Finlab Nigeria Limited, Chief Uzomba Nwaije, said the company’s management decided to use the anniversary to uplift people who have acquired various skills but are not financially able to establish it.
