The Information Department, Western Naval Command, said on Friday in Lagos that such assistance would be rendered as part of the Nigerian Navy Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to the people.
The department on Thursday helped to put out a raging fire that broke out at Close 20, Satellite Town, Lagos.
