A digital financial services company, Branch NG, has donated laptops, personal healthcare items and educational materials to students of Sceptre Comprehensive College, Alapere, Lagos, as part of its corporate social responsibility initiative.
The company said the donation was aimed at improving digital access, supporting learning and promoting students’ overall well-being, particularly at a time when access to technology and basic learning tools remains a challenge for many public and low-income schools across Lagos and other parts of the country.
Speaking at the presentation, Managing Director of Branch NG, Dayo Odulate-Ademola, said the initiative aligns with the company’s commitment to social impact, financial inclusion and education, particularly in underserved communities. She noted that the intervention was designed to bridge gaps in digital access and personal hygiene resources among students, while also encouraging healthy physical activity as part of a holistic approach to learning and development.
Also speaking, Head of People Operations, Branch Nigeria, Emmanuela Ekanem, said the initiative reflects the company’s culture of service and long-term community investment. According to her, providing digital tools and essential learning resources will help students develop the skills and confidence needed to succeed in an increasingly technology-driven environment, where digital literacy is becoming central to education and future employment opportunities.
The company stated that the donation forms part of its broader efforts to promote digital literacy and support the development of young people across communities where it operates, reinforcing the role of private sector participation in complementing educational development and youth empowerment initiatives.
