Conoil Seeks Better Deal For The Nigerian Child
As the country celebrates its future leaders, Conoil Plc, as part of its social responsibility, has called on the society to spare a thought for the innocence of the Nigeria children who are growing up in the midst of divisiveness, violence, kidnapping and terrorism. Children growing up in the midst of values and principles that have been twisted in the society, in the classroom, at home, on television and the social media.
The Company advised teachers, parents, governments, non-governmental organisations and all well-meaning Nigerians on the need for vigilance and urgent action to stem the growing negative influence this affordable situations are having on the children.
In a statement to commemorate the day, the company entreated parents, leaders and every adult to lead by example by imbibing hard work, diligence, discipline, honesty, prudence, selflessness and patriotism.
It also called on parents to strive at all times to nurture, educate, mentor and pride their children to be the best in whatever endeavour they find themselves.
The statement counselled government at all levels to guarantee better living conditions for the Nigerian child by providing access to quality and affordable education, effective transportation system, good healthcare and other basic necessities so that they can grow, flourish and keep our nation strong.
It added that experience has shown that given the right training and environment, the Nigerian child will exhibit exceptional talent, and compete favorably in various aspects of life, globally.
The Company also encouraged parents to show more commitment to their children’s education, welfare and basic survival skills.
The Company salutes all the children who have continued to make the country proud in spite of harsh economic environment.
