As part of its corporate social responsibility initiatives, SIFAX Shipping ICT, Ijora, a subsidiary of SIFAX Group, has built a new bus stop for the Ijora community in Lagos.
The new bus shelter was constructed at the popular Ilaje bus stop to ease passenger movement and traffic around the busy Ilaje junction which is a very popular intersection in the community.
Speaking at the commissioning, Paul Linden, managing director of SIFAX ICT Limited, said the company, at the inception of its operations, promised to play a critical role in the human and infrastructural development of the host community.
He said the bus stop is the latest of the interventions provided by the company for the community.
