HAVEN HOMES donates bins to LASPARK

- By Mustapha Suleiman

A property developer, Haven Homes, has donated refuse bins to the Lagos State Parks and Gardens Agency (LASPARK).

Haven Homes General Manager, Mrs. Ufuoma Ilesanmi said the donation was part of its corporate social responsibi­lity programme aimed at making environmen­t friendly.

The items were received on behalf of the agency by the special assistant to the Lagos State Governor on Environmen­t, Mr Babatunde Hunpe.

Ufuoma said, “Haven Homes was motivated to make the bin donation because our firm believed LASPARK could still improve on the impressive work it is doing to beautify a mega city like Lagos through parks and gardens. We are making this donation to encourage LASPARK to do better than they are doing currently. Even though they are doing great now, there is always room for improvemen­t and it is such little gestures like ours that will help to achieve that and as modest as our donation seems, we are aware that little drops of water make a mighty ocean. We sincerely hope that other corporate organizati­ons will emulate our humble gesture and contribute to a very worthy cause, after all, the environmen­t is an important matter to all and Lagos must be kept clean and beautiful.”

On their part, LASPARK appreciate­d the Haven Homes’ kind gesture and wished that other corporate organizati­ons would do likewise because government subvention­s alone could not enable them to do all that they would want to do in the onerous task of beautifyin­g the environmen­t.

LASPARK is the Lagos state agency for lands capping and beautifica­tion of spaces in the environmen­t into alluring parks and gardens.
