The Managing Director/Chief Executive, Transcorp Hotels Plc, Dupe Olusola, has reiterated the commitment of the hospitality institution towards giving back to society.
Speaking at the Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony in Abuja, she said the hotel is constantly giving back to society as well as always improving services to customers.
Olusola said the hotel had been supporting privileged children, giving back to the child-child through mentoring initiatives as well as helping young entrepreneurs.
She said, “We also give back 10 per cent of our profit before tax and invest in entrepreneurship across Nigeria. So, we are actively giving back and still looking for ways to support humanity.
“We are doing some programmes with less privileged children, we had a programme with the United Nations earlier this year, and we also give back to the girl-child through mentoring and programmes.
“So, for every guest that comes into the hotel the bars of soap that they use, we don’t throw it away; we recycle them and give back to that community the same thing we do with food as well.”
She explained that the rationale was to usher staff and customers and Nigerians in general into the mood of the Christmas season, adding that this had become a tradition for the hotel.
