Etisalat Nigeria has been named the Best Company in Partnership for Development, at the annual Social Enterprise Reports and Awards (SERAs) for its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) contributions.
The event, which was held in Lagos, was dedicated to honour the most outstanding efforts in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by deserving organisations that are committed to giving back to the society.
Enitan Denloye, Director, Brands and Communication at Etisalat, noted that Etisalat’s commitment to providing innovative solutions for its customers underpins its CSR activities, which are critically assessed to ensure sustainability.
“We are pleased to be recognised for the quality of our partnerships, but it is even more gratifying to know that the partnerships have had the impact we expected in communities and in the lives of individuals,” he said.
Etisalat has made several strides in CSR, including the establishment of West Africa’s first Masters programme in Telecoms Engineering at the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, the Adopt-A-School initiative, Career Counselling initiative, the annual Etisalat Merit Awards which provides grants for university students in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Computer Science and Business Administration, amongst others.
