CSR: NBC intervenes in education, donates classroom blocks to Abuja community

In line with its long-standing commitment to supporting its stakeholders and communities, the Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC) Limited, has donated a newly built block of classrooms to LEA Primary School in Karon Magiji, Abuja.

Speaking during the formal handover of the finished blocks, the District Head, Chief Yunusa Bako Abdullahi, in a statement commended the gesture by the foremost consumer packaged goods company and bottlers of Coca-cola products in Nigeria, saying the community would continue to cherish the support.

“What NBC has done for LEA Primary school is very commendable, particularly because building a decent learning environment for our pupils had been a major challenge for us. We consider this a major investment in the future of our children, the leaders of tomorrow,” he said.
