“We are aware of the need by youths to have
regular access to electricity so that they can have unrestrained access to data
and voice call services. They need to call their loved ones when they are on
the mandatory one year national youth service and also be on the social media
regularly. It is this knowledge that has moved us to donate this power
generating set so that they can stay abreast of happenings around the globe
without fear of power interruptions,” he said.
Akanmu disclosed that Globacom had
resolved to take on civic and social projects that will have direct and
significant positive impact on the lives of youths in various communities
across the country.
“Our major preoccupation through our CSR projects is to evolve a system that
will develop the capacity of our youths and empower them to withstand the
challenges of global competition. We are fully aware that the robust future of
our society can only be secured if we fully develop our younger generation
including youths who are serving the nation,” he added.
The State Coordinator, NYSC, Lagos State, Mr.
Cyril Akhanemhe expressed his appreciation to Globacom for the hand of
fellowship extended to the corps.
He said the good gesture would open a new
vista of relations with the state chapter which accommodates about 5,000 corps
members on an annual basis. “We have the highest number of corps members on a
yearly basis, if all of them are on the Glo network using your data as well,
that is brisk business for your company”, Akhanemhe enthused.
He appealed to other corporate organizations
in the country to take a cue from Globacom by partnering with the NYSC to
further empower the youth. “
