Red Star Express Plc, the
foremost logistics services solution provider in Nigeria, has awarded
scholarship to students from Unity Grammar School and Mafoluku Grammar School,
as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Lagos, ITRealms reports.
During the ceremony held
in the schools, in honour of the beneficiaries, Red Star Express Managing
Director, Mr. Sule Bichi, restated the strategic importance of primary and
grassroots education as a catalyst for overall economic growth and long term improvement
of life, explaining that the purpose of the scholarship was to encourage young
and brilliant Nigerian students to aim for excellence.
To ensure continuity, he
implored the beneficiaries to demonstrate continuous academic excellence
throughout the duration of the scholarship; they must show exemplary character
and integrity. He further encouraged other students to strive to be a Red
Star Scholar as there is an opportunity for this every year, ITRealms informs.
The scholars from
indigent homes and public schools were chosen based on presented evidence of
demonstrated academic excellence through their previous results and a
scholarship examination conducted by University of Lagos Consult.
He noted that the
gesture was in accordance with the company’s philosophy of Corporate Social
Responsibility which mandates the company to contribute to the development of
the society. Red Star Express appropriates a percentage of its annual profit
after tax towards the running of the “Red Star Foundation”.
Speaking on behalf of
other recipients at the 2015 edition of the award of scholarship, Master
Adebayo Mark, an SS1 student of Unity Grammar School, Oshodi, commended the
company for its commitment to the scholarship programme which, in no small
amount, has eased some of the burden shouldered by their parents, especially
regarding their educational needs
Red Star Express Plc, ITRealms learnt, was set up twenty-three
years ago to meet your express delivery service commitments through excellent
service delivery. Today, the company is much more than an express delivery
company but a total one stop logistics company.
