5TH Edition of the The PD Community Development Service is a charity program of the law firm of P. D. Pius & Associates which holds every year. This year’s edition was held on 28/12/2019 at Bizarre Hotel Zing.
The objectives of this corporate social responsibility program are; to offer free legal clinic, to build the capacity of the local population, advocate for healthy life style, promote the quest for educational excellence and raise entrepreneurs that will create jobs. Over the years and in previous editions we have offered free legal clinic to hundreds of people, free medical test to hundreds of people and organized Essay competition among all the secondary schools in Zing, Taraba State and offered scholarship to selected students.
In this 5th Edition, we lunched the first PD Law Metre 1.0 which was administered to 342 person’s who were in attendance. The PD Law Metre is the innovation of the P. D. Pius & Associate Law firm to check the legal status of individuals. This was deployed free of charge with promise to lunch the 2.0 version in the next edition.
100 persons also benefited from the medical test until we ran out of test strips. We however promised to seek partnership and deploy more test strips in the next edition. Beneficiaries of the medical test will also have their medical bills settled by the law firm in partnership with General Hospital Zing.
In terms of essay competition, all the participants of the essay competition received various awards for participation. The overall best three (3) students were offered scholarship.
In all, the event was a huge success with many people testifying that they have benefited immensely from the program.
