LAGOS EDUCATION
COMMISSIONER LAUDS GTBANK’S SUPPORT FOR
SPORTS AND EDUCATION
While expressing the State’s gratitude during the bank’s courtesy
visit to her office, Barrister
Oladunjoye added that the bank’s continued sponsorship of the competition will
definitely cement the relationship between the bank and the State government,
in addition to engendering progress in the development of education and sports
in the state.
The Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mrs. Omolara Erogbogbo,
expressed gratitude on behalf of the State Government for the bank’s adoption
of two Lagos schools and sponsorship of the Principals’ Cup competition since
last year during the visit.
In her address, the General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Mrs. Lola
Odedina who equally led the visiting team, said the purpose of the visit was to
appreciate the State Government for giving the bank the opportunity to support
the state in raising the standard of education and sports in the state and thus
in Nigeria as a whole.
While noting that the team’s visit was to strengthen its partnership
with the state on the Principals’ Cup Competition, which is set to identify more
talents in the state’s schools. Mrs. Odedina reaffirmed the bank’s commitment
to keep up the competition’s sponsorship as well as render support in other
areas where the state may require such.
The commitment she said was in response to the passionate call of
His Excellency, Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, who asked all to partner
the state in the development of our schools for a brighter and rewarding future
for all.
She thereafter thanked the ministry on behalf of the bank for its
support during the demise of the bank’s Late Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer,
Mr. Tayo Aderinokun.
The Leader of the
team later presented a frame which bore a congratulatory message from GTBank to
the Honourable Commissioner on her new appointment.
