In many ways, the Nigerian society, fraught with its many problems and challenges, ends up forging men driven to building legacies and giving back to society. It is one of the many ways we as a people keep growing and getting better at leading good lives.
Bukola Odeleye, CEO Beedel Constructions is certainly in the comity of men who continually strive to give back to society through creative, yet essential Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives.
Earlier in the week, as part of its corporate social responsibility, Beedel Constructions commissioned the reconstructed and beautified Adeoyo-Ringroad, roundabout in Ibadan, bringing new life to the arena.
Known far beyond the shores of Nigeria for their excellent construction exploits, Beedel, based primarily in Ibadan is certainly keen on beautifying the Pacesetter State as the renovation of the Adeoyo-Ringroad, roundabout indicates.
Speaking on the revolutionary step, Odeleye explained that this is merely a move by Beedel to contribute its quota in a unique way. According to him, initiatives like this should be a clarion call to entrepreneurs to make better the environment, community or state in which they operate. For Beedel, Adeoyo-Ringroad area is a prime location as it is where the company’s corporate headquarters is located.
He added that he hopes that this, a first among many, inspires others who do business in the Oyo and Nigeria as a whole to strive to make society a better place for all to operate in through concentrated and concerted CSR efforts.
Already, denizens and residents of the district have applauded the move by Beedel Constructions, commending the state of the art beautification of the renovated roundabout.
