Executive Director, Regulatory and Corporate Affairs, Abdulrahman Ado, said health and education are two out of the three pillars of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes.
He said: “The decision to focus on these two areas at this time is borne out of a desire to provide access to health and educational information and services, a critical requirement during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
“As a responsible organisation, we felt the need to support the increasing recourse to online learning by a growing number of academic institutions during this period of lockdown.”
