Fidson Healthcare Plc., a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer in Nigeria, has kicked off the Fidvite Talent Competition tagged “My Child Can”, which seeks to celebrate children by asking parents to showcase their children’s talents and what they can do.
The contest was announced during this year’s Children’s Day celebration on May 27, 2021, in partnership with the Lagos State Government, which to hosted over 3,000 students and other stakeholders in the education sector at the Police College Ground, Ikeja.
Fidson’s collaboration with the Lagos State government to host the ceremony, which had in attendance the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat, and other members of the Lagos State Executive Council as well as top government functionaries, was born out of the organization’s commitment to the development of children and education. These two pillars are among the core focus of the company’s CSR activities which, for years, have rewarded exceptional children from over 1,500 schools across the country for their academic excellence through a project called the Astymin School Programme.
