and this goes to show that we are conscious about our environment and its
people. As you can see, the marketers are very happy about the exercise. We were well received and have promised not
make it a one-off thing. We hereby enjoin other corporate organizations in the
state and the country at large to adopt the exercise.

identify with these people,” she said.

with LAWMA, but today's exercise is commendable and we are saying a very big thank
you to the school's management for this strategic move,” he said.

kind, just as the exercise was supported by Lagos State Ministry of the
