Samsung Electronics West Africa is among several businesses assessed by a jury made up of experts drawn from Nigeria and other parts of the world. The jury based its assessment on the outcome of field visits and verification of data.
For the Best Company in Youth Focused Award, Samsung was lauded for its sterling work and contribution to the lives of the Nigerian youth through some of its programmes.
One of such programmes include the Samsung Engineering Academy which has trained 118 young people, 40 per cent of which are gainfully employed as a result of the training received; Digital Village placed in Cross Rivers State, which has a significant number of young people who would potentially benefit from this project especially the Solar Powered Internet School.
Samsung was nominated in a total of three categories including Best Company in Youth Focused CSR, Best Company in CSR Innovation and Most Improved Company in CSR 2015.
Speaking after receiving both awards for Samsung, Abosede Modupe Alimi, noted that for her, the accolade represents a vote of confidence in their efforts to positively impact the lives of people, particularly the youth.
