Branch Nigeria, a leading digital financial services provider in Nigeria, has donated laptops, educational materials, and personal healthcare items to students of Sceptre Comprehensive College, Alapere, Lagos, as part of its corporate social responsibility initiative.
The initiative forms part of the company’s efforts to support education, digital literacy, and student well-being within underserved communities. The donation included digital tools, learning resources, sports materials, and healthcare items aimed at promoting both academic development and overall personal growth among the students.
Speaking on the initiative, the managing director of Branch Nigeria, Dayo Odulade-Ademola, said the donation reflects the company’s long-standing commitment to social impact, financial inclusion, and educational development across neglected communities.
“At Branch NG, we believe that every child deserves access to tools that can unlock their potential, whether in the classroom or in their personal development journey. Our donation of laptops, healthcare items, and sports materials is part of our responsibility to support digital inclusion and encourage well-rounded growth among students. We are committed to investing in communities and empowering young people with the resources they need to learn, innovate, and excel,” she said.
The head of People Operations at Branch Nigeria, Emmanuela Ekanem, echoed this position, emphasising the importance of access to essential resources in building confidence and capacity among young people.
“At Branch, we believe that access creates opportunity. By providing these digital tools and essential items, we’re helping students build the confidence and skills they need to succeed. Supporting young people in our communities is a core part of who we are, and we’re committed to continuing this impact,” she said.
Ekanem further noted that the initiative aligns with Branch Nigeria’s internal culture of empathy, service, and long-term investment in communities, reinforcing the organisation’s values beyond its core financial services operations.
The programme, which focuses on improving digital literacy and promoting overall well-being, aligns with the company’s broader vision of preparing the next generation to thrive in an increasingly technology-driven world. It also complements ongoing conversations around corporate social responsibility in the financial sector, alongside initiatives such as ASHA MFB strengthening communities through CSR bursaries and client empowerment, discussions on CSR as a covenant rooted in respect and enterprise, and renewed emphasis on CSR by Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun following the opening of a Premium Trust Bank branch in the state.
Through sustained CSR efforts and strategic community engagement, Branch Nigeria continues to position itself as a socially responsible organisation committed to empowering young people, supporting inclusive growth, and delivering impact beyond financial services.
