GTCO Food and Drink 2024

By Modupe Gbadeyanka

One of the leading financial services institutions in Africa, Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO) Plc, has launched an initiative to improve quality of life for households and empower women in underserved communities.

This scheme known as Waste for Gas is under its corporate social responsibility (CSR) and stakeholder engagement to reaffirm its unwavering commitment to improving outcomes for people and communities.

The initiative also introduces a structured Waste for Gas exchange programme that promotes responsible waste management, fostering a culture of sustainability.

The company intends to distribute 3,000 3kg gas cylinders with burners to low-income households in Obafemi Owode Local Government, Mowe, Ogun State.

By providing households with gas-powered cooking, the initiative simplifies daily routines, freeing up time for essential activities that support financial resilience.

The project will unfold in two key phases, ensuring that it reaches those most in need.

In the first phase, teams from GTCO, in collaboration with local government representatives, conducted door-to-door visits across 12 wards in Obafemi Owode Local Government from Monday to Friday, February 18 – 21, 2025.

These visits helped identify beneficiaries who currently rely on firewood and charcoal for cooking. Participating households collected and returned plastic waste in exchange for gas cylinders and burners.

In the second phase, which held on Saturday and Sunday, February 22 and 23, 2025, efforts shifted to monitoring and increasing adoption of the new cooking method among the beneficiaries.

The chief executive of GTCO, Mr Segun Agbaje, said, “At GTCO, we are committed to driving progress, not just through innovative financial solutions but by creating real impact in the communities where we operate.

Waste for Gas is about making life easier for families, giving them more time for what truly matters—whether it’s education, meaningful work, or personal development.

“Beyond this initiative, our goal is to continually evolve sustainable platforms that empower people, strengthen communities, and contribute to socioeconomic progress.”

As GTCO continues to expand its CSR footprint, the Waste for Gas project serves as a blueprint for future interventions that drive meaningful, long-lasting impact in underserved communities.

Efforts are being made by Ecobank Nigeria and Code 14 Labs to deepen coding education in the country by providing affordable annual training and proficiency certification to students.

The lender, in a statement, said it would provide nationwide and pan-African access to coding education, utilizing its extensive operational network across the continent.

In turn, Code 14 Labs will supply its educational technology and trusted community to ensure high-quality teaching that delivers tangible learning outcomes for students and reassurance for parents.

Both parties recently met in Lagos to seal a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to kick off the partnership.

Parents and guardians wishing to have their wards participate in the programme are encouraged to open Ecobank’s MyFirst Account—a specialized high yield savings product designed for children under 16.

The Head of Consumer Banking at Ecobank Nigeria, Ms Aeola Ogunyemi, who represented the Head of Consumer Products and Segments, Mr Victor Yalokwu, said the collaboration reflects the bank’s commitment to bridging the digital divide, promoting inclusion, and preparing the next generation for a tech-driven future.

He also highlighted how the collaboration aligns with Ecobank’s mission to equip children with the skills necessary to thrive in an increasingly digital world.

“At Ecobank, we recognize that financial literacy and digital education are intertwined. This belief led to the creation of the MyFirst Account, a product aimed at children under 16 to encourage smart financial habits from an early age.

“By introducing students to coding through Code 14’s innovative mobile app, we’re not just teaching coding skills, but also nurturing problem-solving abilities, creativity, and digital confidence,” Mr Yalokwu noted.

The Executive Director of Research and Technology at Code 14 Labs, Mr Otaru Daudu, praised the partnership and expressed confidence that, with the support of additional partners like the British Council and the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN), they will achieve their goal of training 50,000 learners to proficiency level in HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), essential programming languages for global internet communication.
