How Prince Ebeano Supermarket Is Changing the Face of Nigeria’s Educational System
With a population of over 200 million and over 10 million out-of-school children - one of the highest in the world, it is evident that Nigeria's educational system needs urgent intervention. However, this isn't a job that the government can do alone. Private sector participation is necessary if the system will receive the attention it needs. Thankfully, several businesses and private organisations are rising to the occasion with innovative corporate social responsibility initiatives that directly impact the educational sector. One of them is Prince Ebeano Supermarket, a retail store with six outlets located across Lagos and Abuja with others in the pipeline.
