Nigeria’s number one
online classifieds OLX.com.ng has once again demonstrated its commitment to
making everybody win.
The staff and management
of OLX transformed the vocational section of the school by painting the walls
and presenting the school with several gifts that would fulfil the needs of the
students and caretakers especially this festive season.
Speaking at the school,
Lola Masha, Country Manager, OLX stated that one of the values at OLX is “Live
It” which is not expressed only by staff selling items they no longer need on
the OLX platform to make extra cash but also by helping and empowering the
communities in which we operate.
Masha also added that
although it has been a very challenging year for everyone especially with the
economic recession; we were determined to put a smile on people’s faces
especially the less fortunate in our society which is why we opted to paint
Modupe Cole who empower kids with disabilities with the skills to earn a living
in the society.
Also speaking on the
impact OLX made to the school; Rev Adebayo Adeyemi- Cole, Secretary of the Women's
Voluntary Organization, Founder of Modupe Cole extended appreciation to OLX
Nigeria for their kind gesture of painting the school and generous donation of
food supplies.
Adeyemi-Cole also added that we are simply touched
and wish other corporate organizations would emulate OLX to impact the
communities they operate in
Aside from painting the vocational section of the
school and donating food supplies, OLX staff also patronized the students who
make a wide range of accessories from key rings, hair clips, bangles, bags and
lots more. The kids also learn carpentry, painting and hairdressing.

classifieds platform in growth markets and is available in more than 45
