CGX Energy Inc. yesterday donated more than $14 million in Morning Glory Cereal to the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) to assist Guyanese who have been affected by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
During a brief ceremony yesterday morning at the National Gymnasium on Mandela Avenue, Executive Director of CGX Energy Inc., Professor Suresh Narine, revealed that the company in collaboration with its partner, Frontier Energy, has donated 40,000 boxes of locally manufactured cereals, to the CDC. Each box, he said, contains five rice cereal meal replacements.
He noted that they were motivated to make the donation by the president’s call for the private sector to assist in the COVID-19 response. However, he said, they decided to include a local food product because it is very important to sustain local agro processing ventures, which are hard hit due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
