Famfa Oil Celebrates International Literacy Day With 300 Children

Famfa Oil Limited, a Nigerian-owned oil exploration and production company, joined forces with Slum2school, a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming the lives of underprivileged children.

Together, they orchestrated a heartwarming CSR initiative that is set to leave a profound impact on the future of young impressionable learners at Sabo-Koji.

On the occasion of International Literacy Day, Famfa Oil Limited took a pioneering step towards building a brighter future for Nigeria by embarking on a journey to Sabo-Koji, a riverine community nestled in the heart of Lagos. This remarkable initiative was carefully crafted to address the dire educational needs of over 300 children, aged between five and thirteen, residing in this underprivileged community.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Femi Adejumo, the Head of Operations at Famfa Oil, represented by Engineer Yemi Atolagbe, said:

He said, “Today, as we gather here with these young learners, we are reminded that there is no better way of sowing the seeds of change than through education. So, as we celebrate International Literacy Day today, let us all remember that the ability to read and write is not just a privilege; it is a fundamental right.

“It is a right that we, as a responsible corporate citizen, are committed to upholding and promoting. It is a right that we are working tirelessly to extend to those who need it most.”
