Love Always On: itel Donates Libraries, Educational Materials to Schools in Lagos and Kaduna
For children across the world, being able to go to school, learn, and make new friends is always a thing of joy. Schools are places for them to learn academically, socially, and pick up new positive habits.
And as Nigeria’s foremost mobile phones, accessories, and televisions brand that is dedicated to making sure consumers enjoy a better life, with a proven track record of selflessly donating to schools and low-income communities around the country, itel believes strongly that children are the future of society and should be treated with care and love. It, therefore, comes as no surprise that they support the education of children and have donated items once again to aid their learning efforts in Kaduna and Lagos.
