LASACO Assurance Plc, concerned about the standard of education in Nigeria, has contributed to capacity building in the sector
The company, which has been supporting the development of education in the country for a long time as part of its corporate social responsibility drive, is to invest in the enhancement of skills and make students better equipped for the challenges in the sector.
The latest of its intervention in educational development is its recent support for the rollout of ‘The Compass,’ a magazine published by Airforce Secondary School, Shasha, Lagos. The magazine, which is dedicated to sharing remarkable achievements and inspiring stories within the school community, mirrors the potential of digital technology in present-day educational development.
A highly elated Commandant of the school, Wing Commander B. N. Adamu was full of praise to the management and staff of Lasaco Assurance plc for the support and interest in uplifting education in the country.
He thanked the company for investing in the future of the country through its intervention in education and the development of the youth on whose laps the fortunes of the country would rest in the future.
Commander Adamu, who led a team of management of the school on a “Thank You” visit to Lasaco’s Corporate House in Lagos, used the opportunity to share his vision for the school and sought the continuous support of the company.
He called on other corporate giants to emulate the initiative of Lasaco Assurance Plc to be able to guarantee a better future for the country.
Responding, the managing director of Lasaco Assurance plc, Razzaq Abiodun, thanked the Commandant for deeming it fit to visit the company and pledged Lasaco’s continued support for the school and other educational institutions.
Razzaq believes that all corporate organisations must come together to support the government in its quest to take the country out of its doldrums, saying, the government alone could not do it without the support and cooperation of the corporate community.
He explained that his company chose to intervene in the education of children because of its central role in getting the children well-equipped for leadership roles in the future, adding that education would help them fight ignorance and poverty and setting the country on the path to prosperity and growth.
