The Cooperative Mortgage Bank has donated household items to Stella Obasanjo Orphanage Home in Abeokuta, Ogun State, and several others in 10 states of the federation.

The Head, Communications and Public Relations of the bank, Afolabi Olufunmilayo, said in a statement issued on Sunday that the effort was part of the company’s corporate social responsibilities.

 She said the less privileged people in the society needed support from corporate organisations, adding that CMB would not ignore its responsibility to give back to the society.
