Axxela Limited says it remain committed to improve the learning habits and reading culture among our youth beginning from primary school education through investment in infrastructure development.
In celebration of Children’s Day and in demonstration of its Corporate Social Responsibility Axxela commissioned the newly refurbished Olowogbowo Methodist Primary School, donated books for the school library and provided school supplies to the students.
Aloiye Aigbonoga, community relations manager, Axxela Limited while speaking on the initiative said: “In line with our CSR efforts to give back to communities where we operate, we adopted and refurbished the school, upgraded the library”.
Aigbonoga said the company is also proud to empower staff of the school by providing an improved workplace environment, as this initiative gets us closer to achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4 of Quality Education.
The refurbishment project included general repairs of sixteen classrooms, replacement of all damaged windows, installation of new library bookshelves, restoration of the playground, provision of a fully-equipped sick bay, and replacement of all toilets and sewage system.
On his part, Moshood Mayegun, Lagos Island Government Education Authority Secretary lauded the effort of Axxela saying, “We are indeed grateful to Axxela for its intervention that will go a long way in boosting the morale of the students, while giving them access to quality education with the much needed resources and facilities. The children of Olowogbowo Methodist Primary School can now learn in a more conducive environment, and we promise to make judicious use of the facilities Axxela has provided.”
As part of the company’s unwavering commitment to improve the standard of living of its host communities, Axxela also recently commissioned the newly re-constructed Elegbata Sports complex, also located in Lagos Island.
