Determined to expand multi-sector customer reach, SKLD Integrated Services formerly known as School Kits Limited has added four strategic business units in Retail, Wholesale, Humanitari­an Aid Supply and Garment Production.

Temilola Adepetun, managing director of the company stated this at the company’s 20th anniversar­y celebratio­n in Lagos emphasisin­g that SKLD remains committed to the developmen­t and growth of education in Nigeria.

Adepetun says the company plans to establish its operations in other states within Nigeria, adding that SKLD Integrated Services plans to make an inroad into West African countries.

Commenting on the future aspiration of the company, the managing director said the company will like to see the textile industry in Nigeria fully revived in order to put its garment production facility to fantastic use by increasing its capacity to have the local textiles available.

Adepetun also stated that there is a lot of opportunit­y for humanitari­an aids especially in the Northeast and fortunatel­y, SKLD has started working in that sector and will continue to work in that sector.

She further noted that despite the challenges faced by the company in the last two decades, SKLD remains committed to adding value to all stakeholde­rs.

According to Adepetun, “Looking at the deficit in areas like infrastruc­ture, low access to funding, interest rates or taxation, businesses have to constantly look at how these things impact business and strategize to cushion the effects of deficits as well as ensure profitabil­ity”.

Tayo Osiyemi, deputy managing director of the company added that Nigeria needs more investment­s not just at the level of providing educationa­l supplies and resources. More investment is needed in providing the tools & technology that will make more young Nigerians educated and exposed to what is going on in the global scene.

Behind the new look, SKLD Integrated Services is still the same company and team, dedicated to delivering excellent results and creating value for all stakeholde­rs.
