Corporate Social Responsibility, or CSR for short, is the idea that a company should be socially involved with the environment around itself. This can range from engaging in nonprofit causes, to bettering the community, or creating stronger connections between employees. Ultimately, a company’s CSR is established to increase overall engagement. It is created to make employees, and employers, feel more connected with society.

Prescient Nigerian observers who are watching what’s going on in Lagos State would rightly agree that hard work in the right direction delivers enduring fruits. Hard work doesn’t kill; it yields life that history acknowledges ultimately. That is the enviable story of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State as he marks his 55th birthday today.

Following announcement by President Muhammadu Buhari that the Democracy Day holiday that usually holds every May 29, in commemoration of the Day that effectively marked the end of military rule in Nigeria leading to successful handover to civilian authorities, has been moved to June 12, being the date the late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola contested and reportedly won the June 12, 1993 presidential election, and conferment of the nation’s highest honour, Grand Commander of the Federal Republic, GCFR, on him, meanings have been read into it and many have wondered if MKO Abiola would have accepted the offer by Buhari if he was still alive.

ANY competent mathematician would tell you that it is not possible for probability theory  to only throw up bad leaders from a pool of  good people. If, ultimately, a nation gets the leadership it deserves, then Nigeria has, by and large, ended up with clumsy, sub-standard leaders because its citizenry must itself be highly morally compromised and intellectually deficient

I am one Nigerian who keenly and unflinchingly monitored President Muhammadu Buhari’s electioneering campaigns. And after his victory at the general elections and eventual assumption of office as President of Nigeria in May 2015, I also devoted special attention in his speeches, beginning with the maiden address to the nation.
