Lasaco Assurance Plc says its interest in building capacity in the educational sector is driven by the need to enhance the skills of students, to make them better equipped for the challenges in life.
In a statement, it said it had been supporting the development of education in the country for a long time as part of its corporate social responsibility drive.
The latest of its interventions in educational development was its recent support for the rollout of ‘The Compass’, a magazine published by Airforce Secondary School, Shasha, Lagos.
The magazine was dedicated to sharing remarkable achievements and inspiring stories within the school community, the statement said.
Speaking on the intervention, the Managing Director of Lasaco Assurance Plc, Razzaq Abiodun, said he believed that all corporate organisations must come together to support the government in its quest to take the country out of its depression.
“The government alone cannot do it without the support and cooperation of the corporate community,” he said.
He explained that his company decided to intervene in the education of children because of its central role in getting the children well-equipped for leadership roles in the future.
Education, he added, would help them fight ignorance and poverty and set the country on the path to prosperity and growth.
The commandant of the school wing expressed appreciation to the management and staff of Lasaco Assurance Plc for their support and interest in uplifting education in the country.
He thanked the company for investing in the future of the country through its intervention in education, and the development of the youth on whose laps the fortunes of the country would rest in the future.
