Stanbic IBTC Pensions Donates Water to Police College

　

Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers Limited, one of the leading Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) in the country, has completed a water project it donated to the Nigeria Police Training School at Odukpani in Cross River State.

The Chief Executive Officer of the PFA, Dr. Demola Sogunle, made this known in a statement in Lagos recently. He said the water project, comprising 16,000 liter water storage tanks and pipe network with taps, was unveiled by the Cross River State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Kola Shodipo, recently.

Represented by Assistant Commissioner of Police, Mr. Chris Mbazor, the commissioner expressed his happiness over the project and commended Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers for undertaking the water facility.

He said the water project would cause relief to the school community and students who hitherto had to walk long distances in search of water.

The commissioner also encouraged the PFA and other corporate entities to identify areas of need in the school and assist in order to enable the students and entire school community live and study in a befitting atmosphere. This would enhance the capacity of men and women of the Police force discharge their responsibilities, he stressed.

Also, the Commandant of the school, Assistant Commissioner of Police Godwin Ahulor said, "I must express my deep appreciation to Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers Limited for this rare gesture, which has come as a huge relief to every member of this community."

Meanwhile, Sogunle, who was represented by the Head of Sales, Mr. Bimbo Ladele, said the project was in fulfillment of the group's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. The initiatives, according to him, aim at impacting positively on the wellbeing of host communities in critical areas such as education, health and economic empowerment.

He recalled that the PFA had in the recent past launched similar projects at the Nigerian Police Colleges in Ikeja and Kaduna as part of a strategic partnership with the law enforcement agency to contribute to the security of the nation.
