Explaining the essence of the exercise, the company’s   Below the Line BTL manager, Soifack Sonna, said the activity underscores Tecno’s desire to give back to the society where it is doing business.
He also said that Tecno was using the excercise to encourage other people operating in Computer Village to maintain clean environment.

Sonna, who spoke on behalf of his general manager Mr Jackwell, said that the exercise will not end only in computer village but will extend to other parts of Lagos in the course of the year. Sonna said, “We just want to say that this campaign is designed to keep our business environment clean. Tecno is not just in Nigeria to do business alone, but also to help our customers stay safe and healthy in our environment” he added.
