In our continuous effort to build strong bridges within the community we operate in with a special focus on education and youth development, we hosted some lucky top performing students within the Apapa LCDA to a shopping spree at Pick n Pay Store Victoria Island, Lagos. Pikwik Nigeria Limited is a JV between A.G. Leventis (Nigeria) Limited and Pick n Pay South Africa; our flagship store opened March 11, 2021.
We have a long track record with Education and Youth Development, we have partnered with LEAP AFRICA, British Council, STEM-METS, Apapa LCDA, Scouts, Dodo Mayana Soccerthorn. Most recent and ongoing collaboration is with STEM METS.
Speaking on why A.G. Leventis has special interest in Education, our GMD & CEO Seun Oni had this to say: “Education is a strong pillar for youth engagement, and we have anchored our interventions at the entry level where we believe there is a huge deficit and at the other end focused on young people, where the nexus between education and life skills is critical. We therefore target our interventions to address these 2 cohorts through varied partnerships and platforms. For example, we will partner at the community level working directly with the relevant local government agencies to create experiences that will start to draw on the innate curiosity of both the boy and girl child and connect learning tools that can start to build the lifelong connection with learning. This clear focus has helped us define and select the counter Partners we connect with and over the years we have partnered with LEAP Africa and the British Council.”
