We’re committed to human capital development – Nipco boss
In line with its belief in Corporate Social Responsibility, downstream operator in the nation’s oil & gas industry, Nipco Plc, has reaffirmed its commitment to education and human capital development in the country.
The company’s Managing Director, Mr. Venkataraman Venkatapathy, restated the firm’s determination in a reaction to the recognition and appreciation of the Lagos State governor’s wife, Mrs. Abimbola Fashola, while inspecting the furniture and other instructional materials donated by Nipco to Ijora Oloye Nursery & Primary School in the state.
Fashola applauded the CSR initiative of the company, which she noted, was putting nursery education in Lagos on the same plank with other top-rated institutions across the country.
Fashola, who inaugurated the facilities alongside the Apapa LGA Chairman, Mr. Ayodeji Joseph; and the Ojora of Ijora, Oba Fatai Aromire, noted with satisfaction the quality of the infrastructure and the positive impact it would have on the children in the learning process.
The Nipco boss explained that the company viewed investment in education as a veritable avenue through which human capital could be developed for the overall development of the individual and the country at large.
According to him, the company is investing huge sums of money in the education sector, especially at the foundation level, to prepare the pupils adequately for secondary and tertiary grades.
He recalled that Nipco’s CSR projects in education began three years ago with the refurbishing of blocks of classrooms and provision of instructional materials to the Apapa Primary School, Oniru in Apapa LGA.
