A cable network, MultiChoice Nigeria, has tasked female students in tertiary institutions to prepare themselves for hard-work on the completion of their studies to ensure their success in life.
The advice was given by Mr. Martin Mabutho, General Manager, Marketing of the company, while welcoming some female students of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka, to his office during this year’s Take-a-Girl-Child-to-Work initiative, commemorated annually by MultiChoice Nigeria, in partnership with the South African High Commission and UNILAG.
The group of 20, all final year students, were selected from various disciplines ranging from Law, Economics, Mathematics and- Statistics, Philosophy, Engineering, Psychology, English, among others.
Mabutho introduced the visiting students to MultiChoice’s work culture, which he said, was anchored on hard-work, honesty, integrity and team effort. He said that MultiChoice, though an employer of equal opportunity, prides itself as a champion on the empowerment of the girl-child.
“As you set your eyes on graduation, it is important that you begin to think about your career and what you will like to do with your life once you start working. Remember that hard work and honest dedication to your calling will pay off in the long run,” he counseled.
Earlier, Caroline Oghuma, Public Relations Manager, MultiChoice Nigeria, commended the girls for their enthusiasm and urged them to make the most of the day being a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the participants.
“We are glad to be a partner in this initiative because it concerns the future of the girl-child. When you train a girl, you empower a generation. When you expose a girl to a work environment, you assist her in her career choice, future life and engagements,” she said.
Mr. Mai Atafo, a fashion icon, spoke with the girls on “A Career in Fashion”. He urged the students to embrace creativity as a way of life, encouraging them to consider a career in fashion to boost the country’s economy and reduce unemployment.
