A leading human capital development consultancy company, KloverHarris, has given out free books and writing materials to top-performing students of Local Government Primary School, Isiwu, in Ikorodu, Lagos State, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) aimed at inspiring and encouraging brilliant academic performances.
The CSR project undertaken on Friday, July 21, 2023, at the school premises saw the company gifting the best students in each class academic materials aimed at creating a positive impact on the beneficiaries and others, as well as reinforcing that there is dignity in labour.
The Managing Partner of KloverHarris, Ms Bukola Ariybi, stated that the company’s CSR project was meticulously planned and effectively executed. She said giving out writing materials to the best students in the school will motivate others to work harder to benefit from similar gestures from KloverHarris.
