A Makurdi based business man in Benue State, Chief Isaac Akinkunmi, at the weekend fed hundreds of people with free food.

Akinkunmi said that the gesture was to mark this year’s World Food Day as part of his Tito group of company’s corporate responsibility to the society.

He noted at the event which was held at Tito Multipurpose building along David Mark bypass with a lecture entitled, “How Probiotic Yoghurt Boosts Immunity”, that the paper presentation became necessary to educate people about the benefits of yoghurt.

The business man who is the Chief Executive Officer of Tito group of companies added that the title of the lecture was meant to erase the mindset that yoghurt had a lot of sugar as he stressed that the product has low sugar and helps to maintain good health.

Presenting the paper, Dr Innocent Abi, listed the benefits of probiotic to include; combats bloating, constipation, diarrhoea and other digestive maladies associated with Irritable bowel syndrome. 

A participant at the lecture, Friday Uja, said the lecture was an eye opener that yoghurt after all does not get people fat.
