UAC of Nigeria Plc (UAC), a holding company with subsidiary and associate companies operating in the Animal Feeds and other edibles, paints, packaged food and beverages, Quick Service Restaurants, Real Estate, and Logistics sectors, has reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable development with the launch of its flagship Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives.

This represents a holistic and transformative solution to addressing critical challenges in early childhood education, paving a way for a brighter future for underserved communities nationwide.

The CSR activities began with the launch of the Book Donation Drive, a project designed to enhance literacy and provide quality educational resources to underprivileged children in the communities where UAC operates. The first donation drive, held on November 25, 2024, at Anglican Girls Seminary Primary School and Cathedral Primary School in CMS, Lagos Island benefited over 120 students who received books aligned with the national primary school curriculum to support their academic year. This ensured students who could not afford these resources were equipped with the tools needed to succeed in school.

Speaking at the event, Queenette Durosinmi-Etti, Chief Operating Officer at UAC of Nigeria Plc reaffirmed the company’s dedication to advancing early childhood education as a key pillar of the Company’s CSR strategy.

She stated: “At UAC of Nigeria Plc, we believe that early childhood education is the cornerstone of sustainable development. This initiative represents our commitment to investing in the future of our children, providing them with the tools they need to reach their full potential. Through initiatives like these, we are helping to build a more equitable and literate society.”

The Book Donation Drive was met with enthusiasm from community leaders, school educators, and the children themselves, all of whom expressed appreciation for UAC’s efforts to address the gap in access to educational materials.

In addition to this book donation initiative, UAC of Nigeria PLC’s CSR strategy includes various other programs aimed at improving paediatric healthcare and driving community development. UAC invites individuals, organisations, and stakeholders to join in its efforts to create lasting change and foster positive social impact across local communities in Nigeria
