26 Jul Arkland Group Announces Scholarship For Kids Of Chess In Slums Africa
As part of its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, Arkland Group, one of Nigeria’s top real estate firms, recently hosted Chess in Slums Africa through the Chess Beyond Borders initiative to mark its #BuildToWin campaign while also commemorating the world chess week. The event included the announcement of scholarships for six CISA kids, a friendly chess game with Arkland staff and a tour of its projects in Eko Atlantic City.
The visit to Arkland’s head office by the kids was more than just a participation in a chess game. It was a symbol of strategic planning and forethought, values that are deeply ingrained in the ethos of Arkland Group. This underscored the company’s commitment to fostering educational opportunities, giving back to the community and reinforcing its dedication to building a brighter future.
“Just like a well-played game of chess, we believe every high-rise we build is a carefully planned masterpiece,” remarked Mrs Seun Awofisoye, Group HR for Arkland Group. “Our collaboration with Chess in Slums Africa highlights our commitment to community engagement and our belief in nurturing the potential of the next generation of leaders.
Adding a special touch to the event, the children from CISA were given an exclusive tour of Arkland’s head office, where they could get a glimpse of where all the magic happens, providing the kids with insights into the planning, design, and operational processes that drive Arkland’s success. The children were then taken on a tour of some of Arkland’s flagship projects in Eko Atlantic City, giving them a firsthand look at modern architecture and state-of-the-art construction techniques, inspiring them to dream big and see the possibilities that lie ahead in their futures. The awe and excitement on their faces were palpable as they explored the high-rise buildings and lush surroundings of this iconic development.
The day ended with refreshments, a cheque presentation, and other fun activities, making the day an unforgettable experience for the kids. This initiative is part of Arkland’s broader CSR strategy aimed at creating lasting, positive impacts in local communities. The #BuildToWin philosophy is not only evident in Arkland’s real estate projects but also in their approach to social responsibility.
Arkland Group continues to set the standard in the industry, not only by delivering top-tier real estate solutions but also by fostering growth and opportunity in society. Their commitment to quality and social responsibility ensures that every project, like every move in a chess game, is a step towards a strategic victory.
