UNION Bank of Nigeria, through its employee volunteering platform under the UnionCares initiative, has completed and inaugurated a comprehensive infrastructure turnaround project at the Ansar-Ud-Deen Primary School in Ebute-Metta, Lagos.
The extensive corporate social responsibility intervention, entirely conceived, funded, and executed by the bank’s 2022–2024 Management Trainee cohort, was aimed at delivering immediate, high-impact relief to one of the state’s highly populated and underserved learning communities.
The completed project directly resolves critical water, sanitation, and power deficits at the school through the delivery of newly constructed toilet facilities for both teachers and students, fully renovated classrooms, a functional borehole for clean water access, a new generator set for uninterrupted power supply, and a wide array of educational materials.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony in Lagos, the Chief Brand and Marketing Officer at Union Bank, Olufunmilola Aluko, highlighted the project as a clear demonstration of corporate purpose matching grassroots needs.
She said, “This project is proof of what happens when young professionals are trusted with purpose. Our 2022–2024 Management Trainees didn’t just complete a CSR mandate, they identified a need, rallied around it, and delivered real change for real children.”
