Zenith General Insurance recently made a cash donation to the Lagoon School Library project in celebration of this year’s International Day of The Girl Child.
The company said this was a demonstration of its commitment to empowering the people within the communities it operates,
International Day of The Girl Child is observed globally on October 11 every year. The theme of this year’s celebration is “Girls’ Vision for the Future”.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the school, Head of the Primary Section, Lagoon School, Ugonwa Ohuche commended Zenith Insurance for its kind gesture, describing it as laudable and impactful.
“The donation made by Zenith Insurance to Lagoon School is such a lovely gesture. It is laudable; the donation to the School’s Library project will positively impact the pupils.
“This is a girls’ school, and we are talking about “Girls’ Vision for the Future” as the theme for this year’s celebration. I think supporting the library project which is going to be for the good of every girl in the Lagoon School, the Primary section, we are sowing into the future of the girl child, and I think we are laying a foundation for posterity,” Ohuche stated.
While calling on other corporate entities to emulate what Zenith Insurance has done, she said “I want to use this opportunity to call on other corporate entities to borrow a leaf from Zenith General Insurance by keying into any ongoing projects in various Gills Schools that can help in empowering women and girls, especially in our country Nigeria.”
Speaking on the rationale behind the donation, Senior Manager, Marketing and Branch Head, Head Office and South-South Regions, Edith Agu said Zenith General Insurance, as a Corporate Organisation, is particular and passionate about the future of a girl child, even as she described the Company as gender sensitive.
