Verraki, a member of Andersen Consulting, has strengthened its partnership with Health Emergency Initiative (HEI) to expand access to lifesaving emergency response skills among young people, training over 50 students from two secondary schools in Lagos.
The initiative, delivered under the Education Pillar of Verraki’s Corporate Citizenship programme, saw students from Immaculate Heart Junior High School, Mende Junior High School, Mende Senior High School, Government Senior College, Ikoyi, Wahab Folawiyo Senior High School and Akande Dahunsi Memorial High School receive practical training in First Aid and emergency response. The programme equipped participants with essential knowledge and skills in CPR awareness, bleeding control, choking response, burns management, and emergency preparedness.
Speaking on the initiative, Niyi Yusuf, Managing Partner of Verraki, a member of Andersen Consulting, said: “At Verraki, we believe education should equip people not only for academic and professional success but also for life. Through our partnership with Health Emergency Initiative, we are helping young people acquire practical skills that can save lives, build confidence, and contribute to safer communities. This reflects our commitment to developing human capital and creating meaningful social impact.”
