*Love Always On: itel Donates Learning Materials, Bags, and Solar Power to students on Children’s Day*

In the spirit of nurturing young minds and empowering the next generation, itel Nigeria, in partnership with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), hosted a memorable Children’s Day celebration themed “Bold Dreams, Bright Futures.” The event, which held on May 27th at the NTA grounds on Tejuosho Avenue, Yaba, Lagos, was part of itel’s Love Always On corporate social responsibility initiative – reaffirming the brand’s commitment to making life better for children, families and underserved communities across Nigeria.

The day was filled with excitement, fun, and most importantly, impact, as over 51 schools across Lagos were beneficiaries of educational and creative items valued at over ₦4 million.

“At itel Energy, our mission is to light up communities and ensure everyone – regardless of where they live – has access to the power they need to live better.

The event wasn't just about donations. A line-up of entertaining and educational activities kept the children engaged, including dancing competitions, a colorful March Past parade, a Miss Children's Day Pageant, musical performances, quiz sessions, puzzles, painting activities, and more – all with exciting prizes to reward participation and excellence.

Dolapo Samuel Olorun-nimbe, ATL Marketing Manager at itel Mobile Nigeria, emphasized the importance of celebrating children holistically:
“Children’s Day is an opportunity to inspire, educate, and uplift. We wanted to create a platform where children could not only receive but also express themselves, compete, and have fun. This is part of itel’s ongoing mission to stand with families and communities at every step of their journey.”

With smiling faces, laughter in the air, and dreams ignited, the 2025 edition of itel’s Children’s Day CSR initiative successfully combined education, entertainment, and empowerment – staying true to the brand’s promise that all and sundry should Enjoy Better Life.
