Nigeria alongside other United Nations (UN) member states marked the first-ever International Day of Education on January 24 in celebration
of the role of education for peace and development. On 3 December 2018, the United Nations General Assembly adopted with consensus a resolution proclaiming 24 January as International Day of Education. The adoption of the resolution co-authored by Nigeria and 58 other Member States, demonstrated the unwavering political will to support transformative actions for inclusive, equitable and quality education for all.
Speaking on the donation he said, “ I am personally vested in all things that pertain to education. Formal education is the first step to creating a brighter future. I believe, like Benjamin Franklin, that an investment in knowledge pays the best interest. The more knowledgeable an individual is the better; knowledge that goes beyond one’s comfort zone enlightens them and creates so much more opportunities.
Wale Tinubu’s passion for imparting knowledge through education is unparalleled and is most evident in Oando PLC’s CSR activities. In 2011, Oando launched its independent charity, Oando Foundation, to support the Nigerian Government to achieve its Universal Basic Education goal.
Like Tinubu, Oando employees are also passionate about education, going so far as demonstrating this passion through their words and actions. In 2018, Oando employees donated learning materials to three schools in Gbagada, Lagos, proving that when companies and employees are aligned great things can be achieved.
