Okoloma, Afam, Rivers State – Transafam Power Limited successfully held its annual environmental transformation drive. The initiative, which took place on December 14, 2022, saw employees from across the company, joined by volunteer members of the host community Okoloma, Afam, Rivers State come together to clean up and beautify the local community.
As part of Transcorp Group’s vision to improve and transform the lives of Nigerians, the Company and its subsidiaries are sensitive to the increasing importance of sustainability. Sustainability has remained systemically ingrained in how business is conducted, evidenced by the commitment to creating positive environmental, social, and economic impact across all businesses and communities.

“Today we are marking Transafam environmental transformation initiative day. What we are trying to achieve is to sensitize our host community on the importance of a clean environment and how it is a major benefit to themselves and their families. We are going about it by rolling up our sleeves and getting our hands dirty in sweeping, cleaning, and waste segregation. We are using this opportunity as part of our CSR and keying into the United Nations’ sustainable development goals.” said Vincent Ozoude, Chief Executive Officer of Transafam Power Limited.
In addition to the clean-up efforts, employees of Transafam Power also educated members of the host community on the importance and benefits of environmental conservation and sustainability.
