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 reiterated that the relevance of CSR initiatives to the company’s activities is crucial in terms of ensuring alignment with the core business values and addressing issues that are directly or indirectly connected to its operations and that subsequent programmes would also be well structured to address the fundamental needs of the citizenry.

Commending KloverHarris Limited for the gifts, the school’s Head Teacher, Mrs Soyombo Sukurat Iyabode, extolled the company for rewarding the students’ brilliant performances and for relieving their parents of the burden of purchasing the books and other valuable materials.

She also urged other organisations to emulate KloverHarris’ goodwill which has put smiles on the students’ faces and further enabled them to strive for distinctive qualities.
