🌎 World Literacy Day!
At FIRST E&P, we recognise that literacy is foundational to community development. To truly advance our host communities, we must empower them with the skills essential for individual growth and societal progress.
With over 18 million children out of school, Nigeria’s literacy rate is alarmingly low. At FIRST E&P, we are committed to addressing these gaps with our scholarship initiatives, sponsoring of educator training and school renovation project.
This World Literacy Day, we encourage everyone to reflect on the importance of literacy and education. Together we can empower the next generation and build a better society, one child at a time.
