students in the state and to equip them with the right knowledge to combat such
menace. Some of the topics focused on during the training include: Basic CPR
skills, dangers of drug abuse, menstrual health and sexual abuse.

He said: “At SIFAX Group, we believe that safety is
synonymous with prosperity. It is only a safe society that translates to a
prosperous living. This is the reason we have thrown our weight behind this
“Safe School Initiative” in order to equip the young ones with the skills
needed to build a bright future. From what we have seen so far in the training,
we are convinced that projects of this nature are needed in all our schools and
as a company, we will not relent in our support for such initiatives.”
