NBC limited classroom block donation strengthens capacity & community based development

Nigerian Bottling Company Limited (NBC) as part of its contribution to societal development that will boost economic growth in Nigeria has built and handed over a 2-Classroom Block, fully furnished with desks, chairs and other classroom fittings to Kuchingoro Primary School, Abuja.

Aminu Mohammed, Public Affairs Manager, Abuja and Northern Region of NBC while speaking at the handover ceremony recently in Abuja said the need to contribute positively to societal development remains key to economic growth in Nigeria and NBC would continue to play its part to provide the needed support in the areas of greatest needs.

Mohammed disclosed that the provision of this fully furnished 2-Classroom block is borne out of a request from the community to support with additional classroom space for the pupils of the school, which was overstretched, especially as it hosts thousands of internally displaced persons from the North-East region.

He further reiterated that NBC is very passionate about youth development and empowerment. According to him, “As a company, we are fully committed to sustainable partnerships with stakeholders, collaborating with States’ Ministry of Education and States Universal Basic Education Boards (SUBEB) to provide the needed infrastructure for the development of Education. The donated project serves as a tool for the upliftment of education in Nigeria and sustainability for humanity”.

Hauwakulu Lawal, Head of Primary School Services, Kuchingoro Primary School on her part lauded the contribution of NBC to the school, stating that the Company has continuously shown collaboration and deliberate contribution to the development of education in the country.

Lawal urged other corporate organisations to emulate the supportive drive of NBC and admonished the pupils to continue in their good conduct to ensure longevity of the newly built and furnished classroom block.
