Lagos Free Zone Awards Scholarships To 6 Indigent Students In Ibeju Lekki Communities
As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and strategy for strengthening community relations, Lagos Free Zone, a subsidiary of Tolaram, has awarded scholarships to six brilliant indigent students within its host communities.
Each of the beneficiaries went home with a cheque of N100, 000.00 at an event held at the company’s Corporate Headquarters located at the Zone, which was attended by leaders and members of the communities.
The beneficiaries drawn from the six host communities of Idotun, Magbon Segun, Okunraye, Ilekuru, Oke Segun, and Itoki include Oladunjoye Zainab Abimbola (HND Chemical Engineering), Lawal Halimat Titilope (BA French Language), Akanni Lateefat Damilola (BA, History & International Studies), Adebayo Ridwan Abiola (HND Agriculture), Alogba Wasiu Ibironke (B.Sc. Mathematics), and Ogundipe Rukayat Omobolanle (B.Sc. Computer Science Education).
According to the Chief Executive Officer, Lagos Free Zone, Mr. Dinesh Rathi, the scholarship is part of the company’s commitment to contribute its quota towards the educational and economic development of the communities through human capital development.
Rathi explained that the company has chosen to support the academic aspirations of these young students in line with its desire to entrench a lasting legacy of impact on the communities.
“As a company, we believe education remains a strong legacy we can impart on the people. We know that many students within the host communities have had to drop out of school due to financial challenges.”
