As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR), the Tin-Can Island ports of the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), has donated learning materials to students of Lagos State Model College, Kankon, Badagry.
This was made known through a statement by the authority, the Tincan Island Port manager, Mallam Buba Jubri.
Buba said the learning materials involved school bags, umbrellas and other learning materials to aid learning among the school pupilsÂ
The statement also stated that the donation is in a way to encourage and appreciate the school whose student, Josephine Krisliwedo Hunpe, won the NPA’s Quiz competition which was held to celebrate the 2020 International World Maritime Day last year.
However, speaking at the school assembly in Kankon Badagry, the representative of the Port manager, Hauwa Usman, said the school was one of the few schools chosen for coming first amongst 3,000 schools which participated in the competition.
Usman also added that the gesture was to encourage other students of the same school to strive to be like their colleague and to be able to compete favourably.
Also speaking, another member of the Tincan Port delegation, Sola Adesanwo, added that, the pupils should endeavor to dream big and not allow distractions as this will help them achieve their goals.
