Unilever Nigeria, one of the country’s longest standing manufacturing companies, has shown its commitment to improving livelihoods and community development through a renovation project carried out in partnership with GEP at Local Government Primary School, Elero Igbesa, Ogun State.
Unilever Nigeria, in partnership with GEP, recently handed over newly renovated classroom blocks, upgraded sanitation facilities with modern toilets, and introduced sustainable energy solutions through solar panels.
To make learning more comfortable and inspiring for the pupils, the classrooms were also furnished and ventilated, creating brighter spaces where children can focus, grow, and thrive.
This initiative reflects Unilever Nigeria’s commitment to nurturing the next generation by investing in sustainable solutions that directly benefit young learners. By creating safer classrooms, providing clean sanitation, and introducing renewable energy, the company is helping children in Elero Igbesa, Ogun State, learn in an environment that supports their future potential.
Speaking at the event, the Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Ogun State, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu, expressed the government’s delight at the intervention, noting that it aligns with the State’s agenda for school infrastructure renewal. He encouraged other corporate organizations to follow Unilever’s example.
Unilever Nigeria’s Managing Director, Tobi Adeniyi, explained that the project aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4, which aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong employment opportunities, as well as with the Ogun State Education Revitalization Agenda. “Every child has earned the right to quality education. And beyond the four walls of the classrooms, we must ensure that our children are equipped with an enabling environment that helps them to concentrate, learn, and dream. This project is part of our sustainability agenda to improve lives and empower future generations,” he said
