Techno Oil Ltd has built a N30 million ICT Centre at Dr Lucas Memorial High School, Kirikiri, Ajegunle in the Amowo Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos.
Mr Tony Onyema, its Managing Director, disclosed this in Lagos on Thursday while briefing newsmen on plans to inaugurate the project by Gov. Babatunde Fashola on Dec. 19.
He said that with the latest project, the company had spent about N200 million on corporate social responsibility projects in the past 15 years.
Onyema said that the centre was built in compliance with the “Adopt -a- School” policy of the Lagos State Government.
He said the company took up the project to promote ICT learning in the school and to ensure that Kirikiri Community had access to opportunities in the digital age.
Onyeama said the company agreed totally with the administration of Gov. Babatunde Fashola that corporate bodies should play visible roles in the effort to check the decay in the education system by “adopting’’ schools.
“It is in line with this policy drive that we decided to adopt Dr Lucas Memorial High School in the sprawling suburb of Ajegunle to make a difference in the lives of students in the institution.
“This school is located in our host community and it is our desire to add value to this institution to make it a citadel of learning in ICT and first among equals among secondary schools in Lagos State.
“The facility we built has no fewer than 41 work stations, supported with a 20 KVA generator and UPS units among other infrastructure, costing a whopping sum of N30 million naira,'' he said.
Onyema said that the company would also fund the centre and pay the salary of teachers to run it.
“We want to be alive to the needs of our host communities, touching lives and contributing to the growth of our country by giving back to the society and doing our business in line with corporate governance and best practices,’’ he said.
The managing director expressed appreciation to Kirikiri Community for providing a congenial environment for Techno Oil to operate, describing the community as a key ally in the success story of the company.
He said that Techno Oil would continue to play active roles in uplifting the human condition of its host communities, recalling some projects the company had executed in its host communities in Abuloma, Rivers State, Agulu Community in Anambra and Lekki in Lagos State.
Techno Oil has been a leading oil and gas company in Nigeria in the last 15 years, producing lubricants, gas stoves, cylinders and fuels.
