In a remarkable show of corporate compassion, the Dangote Group has pledged to fully cover all medical expenses for the injured sister of Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) Season 7 winner, Josephina “Phyna” Otabor. The announcement comes after reports emerged that Phyna’s sister sustained serious injuries in an accident and required urgent medical care.
According to sources close to the family, the intervention from Africa’s largest conglomerate came swiftly after Phyna’s public appeal for assistance. The Dangote Group, led by billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote, confirmed that it would take full responsibility for the hospital bills, rehabilitation costs, and any follow-up treatments needed for her recovery.
In a brief statement, the company’s spokesperson noted: “We believe in standing by individuals and families in moments of difficulty. This gesture is in line with our commitment to touching lives beyond business.”
Phyna expressed her deep gratitude to Dangote Group for the timely support, describing it as a lifeline during one of her family’s most difficult moments. Fans and fellow reality TV stars have also commended the company for its empathy and swift action, with many praising Dangote’s longstanding reputation for philanthropy.
Medical officials say Phyna’s sister is now receiving the best possible care, with specialists closely monitoring her progress. While recovery may take time, the assurance of financial backing has lifted a significant burden from the family’s shoulders.
This latest act of generosity reinforces the Dangote Group’s growing legacy of corporate social responsibility — one that extends far beyond boardrooms and into the lives of everyday Nigerians facing unforeseen challenges.
