       A scheme, to be known as "Adopt a School or Adopt a Primary Health Centre," will soon be launched in Ogun State to encourage the organised private sector to support the rehabilitation of Primary Schools and Primary Health Centres across the State.
The State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, who disclosed this when he received in his office in Abeokuta, the management of Great Nigeria Insurance PLC, led by the Group Managing Director, Mrs. Cecilia Osipitan, said his administration places premium on the health and education of the people and would need assistance in realising the objectives.
"We will soon launch a scheme that will be targeted at encouraging members of the organised private sector to support us in the rehabilitation of schools and Primary Health Centres and will be tagged 'Adopt a School or Adopt a Primary Health Centre'.
"I am sure that industries and companies here in Ogun State are made of stuff that would want to utilise their Corporate Social Responsibilities in the area of supporting the government, particularly the needy that live with us in the society," he said.
The Goverrnor, who lauded the company for redeeming its pledge during the launch of the State Security Trust Fund, said "this is the kind of Public-Private Partnership that we encourage, not those that just come to our State and make requests, but those that consider that this union should be complementary with values added on both sides.
"Great Nigeria Insurance PLC has committed to that as well and we are very happy to have them as worthy partners," he noted.
He said government had embarked on the rehabilitation of Primary Schools and Primary Health Centres in each of the 236 Wards in the State, expressing the hope that the Insurance firm and other Corporate Organisations, would assist in this regard.
Fielding questions from newsmen after the visit, the Group Managing Director of the company, Mrs. Cecilia Osipitan, said the company decided to identify with the administration as a result of its laudable programmes and to showcase the company's initiatives which could add value to the government.More photos below.
