The cleaning brand, through its Hypo Toilet Rescue Volunteer programme, also commissioned 68 toilet units in the state in partnership with the NYSC and provided resources to corps members who volunteered to take an active part in promoting a hygienic toilet environment in Nigerian public schools and most importantly to strategically move Nigeria down the rank of being the highest open defecator in the world.
A statement on Friday said the volunteers and executive members of the NYSC, Lagos chapter, were hosted to a grand reception where they were officially presented with cash rewards of N100,000 each and an employment interview offer. Equally present at the event were representatives from schools already benefitting from the project.
The Executive Chairman of the Organised Private Sector in Water Sanitation and Hygiene, Dr Nicholas Igwe, also promised to support the volunteers with an additional N50,000 each.
The statement read, “So far, 68 toilet units have been rescued and commissioned in Lagos in partnership with the NYSC providing resources to corps members who gladly volunteered to take on the active part on the mission towards promoting hygienic toilet environment in Nigerian public schools and most importantly to strategically move Nigeria down the rank of being the highest open defecator in the world.”
The Brand Manager, Hypo Bleach, Akinseloyin Akintayo, stated that the lucky volunteers would be given full-time employment with the organisation.
He said, “These young people are dynamic, and they have demonstrated how deeply they care about giving back to the community where they are serving beyond the cash rewards, they will be taken through an interview session after which the lucky ones will get a full-time employment with the organisation.”
