Investing in empowerment programmes like Prof. Oby Lilian Orogbu did isn't just about individual growth; it's about creating positive waves throughout society!

These programmes equip people with the skills and confidence to advocate for themselves, their families, and their communities. This leads to a domino effect:

Economic Growth: Empowered individuals are more likely to participate in the workforce, contributing their talents and boosting the economy.
Stronger Families: When people make informed decisions, families thrive. Empowerment programmes can lead to healthier family dynamics and brighter futures. ‍‍‍
Social Change: Empowered voices have the power to challenge inequalities and advocate for a more just society.
By offering practical guidance on establishing tailoring businesses and launching grinding machine enterprises in addition to providing the beneficiaries with sewing and grinding machines, respectively, the member representing the Awka North and South Federal Constituency, Prof. Orogbu, is helping constituents build a brighter future.

Why the Prof. Orogbu-led CSR Committee Frowns at MTN, Airtel, and Other Erring Companies

MTN and Airtel’s failure to honour the invitation of the chairman of the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, Prof. Oby Lilian Orogbu, and her distinguished committee members might attract some punishment. During the public hearing on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, at the Green Chamber, the member representing the Awka North and South Federal Constituency expressed her displeasure over the repeated violation of the law by MTN, Airtel, and other erring companies. But what benefits does having CSR-compliant companies have for Nigerians?

1. CSR-compliant companies support local education programmes, sponsor community events, or fund infrastructure improvements to enhance the well-being of citizens.

2. By committing to sustainable practices that minimise environmental impact, Nigerians can enjoy cleaner air and water, as well as reduced pollution.

3. Workplace accidents and injuries are mitigated when CSR-compliant companies prioritise employee safety.

4. A more stable and empowered workforce is achievable when responsible companies strive for ethical labour practices.

5. New jobs are created, and entrepreneurial initiatives receive support, reducing unemployment rates.

6. Locals have a sense of pride when companies sponsor community events.

7. Finally, a strong CSR reputation enhances a company’s brand, improving a community’s perception of the company.

So beyond corporate profits, the success of the Prof. Orogbu-led CSR committee can have a significant impact on Nigerians’ quality of life.

How often have we heard that someone is two-faced? This trait can be found across every societal class – poor, middle and rich. Since this isn’t an attribute worthy of a gentleman, is it still safe to assume that education, breeding and how a man treats women are all it takes to be called one? So what makes a gentleman a gentleman?

In an ideal world, we all should operate on the same page. Unfortunately, there are certain things that others do and we wonder why they didn’t apply common sense. Could it be that common sense isn’t that common or are there factors that make it so?

There's this consensus that trailblazers are needed to move society forward. Funny enough, when new ideas are created, people tend to resist change and accuse the innovators to be a group of black sheep. From the homefront to the society at large, this challenge remains ever-present. At what point is the black sheep truly black sheep?
