AIICO Insurance, leveraging partnership with Lagos Food Bank, a non-governmental organization, donated packs of school supplies, and refreshments to hundreds of pupils in four low-cost nursery/primary schools. The schools visited include: Best Legacy Nursery and Primary School, Victory Nursery and Primary School, Learners Guide Nursery & Primary School, and Debbie Frank Nursery and Primary School, all within Agege, Ikeja areas of Lagos.

A statement released by the Underwriter quotes the company’s Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability Manager, Mrs. Abimbola Shobanjo, saying that AIICO Insurance prioritizes the well-being and happiness of children who are the leaders of tomorrow.

They are the future leaders of our generation, and we are dedicated to finding ways to positively impact their lives, ensuring they have every opportunity to thrive and succeed in their education. By providing essential supplies and support, we aim to inspire and empower them to achieve their dreams and make a positive impact on the world.
