2016 Children day: Tecno Mobile gives scholarship to pupils

Rapping up its brand activity in public primary schools across Lagos State,

Tecno Mobile gave scholarship to three outstanding primary pupils.

This is part of the mobile phone maker's activities that marked 2016

Children's day celebration across the nation.

Speaking on the brand experiential and corporate social responsibility

initiative of Tecno in primary schools which kicked off on May 18, 2016, the

brand's representative, Richard Ugochukwu said the mobile brand remains

committed to fostering quality child education in its operating communities

as it believes education plays a vital role in community development and

nation building.

According to him, "We believe that giving the next generation qualitative

education is critical to the prosperity of any nation and for a nation like

Nigeria to effectively join the next phase of global industrial race,

the Nigerian

child must be well educated.

Supporting education is an annual endeavor for Tecno and we will continue to

do our very best to provide scholarships for outstanding pupils in public

primary schools to further their education,"

He said that Seven Lagos-based primary schools benefited from the two-

week long activity in which Tecno gave gift items to pupils of beneficiary

schools including donations of stationery to the schools' libraries.

The principal administrators of the schools were in hand to receive donations

made to their school's libraries. Some of the beneficiary primary schools for

Tecno's second quarter 2016 CSR activity includes: Abesan primary school

Ipaja, Community primary school Ipaja, State primary school Ipaja, Estate

nursery and primary school Ipaja, amongst others.

Speaking on Tecno's scholarship award given to pupils today as part of the

activities marking the 2016 children's day, Tecno marketing and PR lead,

Attai Oguche said the mobile brand conducted an educational contest in

selected schools in which high flying pupils were drawn for the grand finale

held today. The three best pupils at the competition will secure the

scholarships.

"The best pupils to emerge in Friday's Children's day contest will each go

home with a cash prize of a hundred thousand naira. We intend that these

donations will help them with catering for most of their school financial

requirements", said the Tecno marketing lead.

Tecno Children's Day 2016 scholarship marks the brand's third consecutive

scholarship scheme for primary school pupils in three years. Tecno is a
