Community support is the currency of love, care and passion for the people, and these are the cardinal values upon which relationships thrive. Riding on the YouFirst promise, the firm has expanded its community support initiative, woven around its brand promise of putting customers at the heart of its business, towards achieving customers’ core needs in the four major areas of education, health & welfare, economic empowerment and the environment. It is evident that this support is a complete giveback to society and is far beyond any scheme for profit, considering its channels and support direction. What better way to give back to society than properly grooming the future generation? Alongside the empowerment programmes is a fund that supports various professorial chairs, including the Professorial Chair in Business Ethics, University of Lagos; Professorial Chair in Computer Science, Federal University of Technology, Akure; Professorial Chair in Department of Petroleum Engineering, University of Uyo; Professorial Chair in Agronomy, Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi;Professorial Chair in Paediatrics, Bayero University, Kano; Professorial Chair in Banking and Finance, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka; Professorial Chair in Veterinary Medicine, Uthman Dan Fodio University, Sokoto; Professorial Chair in Chemical Engineering, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi; Professorial Chair in Water Resources Engineering, University of Maiduguri; and the Professorial Chair in Mechanical Engineering, at the University of Benin.
