Continuing, he revealed that, 'Most recently, we did two boreholes in primary Schools in Abuloma, Port Harcourt. The Primary Schools are UPE Model Primary School 1 and UPE Model Primary School 2, both in Abuloma, Port Harcourt.
'We discovered the schools didn’t have water to drink, clean and wash things and when they use the toilets there’s no water to flush. So,apart from the boreholes, we also provided them with stationeries, white boards and other materials that make learning easy and good.
Mr. Patrick, speaking further, said that, “This event we’re doing today is driven by our understanding of our responsibility as Corporate Citizens. The possibility of your business to achieve its goals and objectives is dependent upon the environment in which you operate. Giving back to the society is our social responsibility.
‘It is only when a society is good, the people are healthy and they thrive that is when your business can thrive too. And spiritually too because we believe that whatever God put in our hands, it’s for us to make it go round, so that we can achieve peace’, the Director explained.
He continued, saying, ‘Our business is also anchored on what is called ‘Sustainability’, for those conversant with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. We subscribe to the tenets of the SDGs so that the business can grow into the future; and so we can bequeath to the upcoming generation a world better than we have today.

The goodness of God adds no sorrows’, he concluded.
The turn out for the free medical outreach was very encouraging as children, teens, adults and the elderly all came out in their numbers to participate in the medical program.
The medical session was led by Dr. Tondor Uzosike who is supported by a team of Doctors covering various fields of medicine and sizeable numbers of nurses who aided the the work.

Administering for the medicals was done in such a way that every participant had their blood pressure, blood sugars and weights tested. Then they progress to the consulting section. From consulting to drug administration. A lot of eye test took place and so many people got new glasses for those who had issues with their sights that needed glasses.
CSR refers to a company's responsibilities toward society. The goal is to produce higher standards of living and quality of life for the communities that surround a company’s operation areas and still maintain profitability for stakeholders.
Corporate social responsibility is a form of international private business self-regulation which aims to contribute to societal goals of a philanthropic, activist, or charitable nature by engaging in or supporting volunteering or ethically oriented practices. CSRs aim to make the world a better place beyond transacting with customers and may result in company-specific benefits as well.
