In a recent strategy session, Ebenco’s Head of Social Impact, Mrs. Grace Oluwagbemiga, detailed how the company is repositioning its humanitarian and philanthropic efforts from locally driven initiatives to a coordinated global vision. The session highlighted Ebenco’s growing emphasis on social responsibility and human capital development as a core element of its long-term strategy.

Speaking on the thinking behind the company’s direction, Mrs. Oluwagbemiga noted that Ebenco’s social initiatives are designed to reflect its global outlook.

She explained that the company’s humanitarian, charity, and philanthropic programmes are being intentionally structured for scale, sustainability, and relevance beyond immediate communities.

“We want to build something that will stand the test of time—something that will live long after we are gone.”

This legacy-driven approach, she said, informs how Ebenco designs its social interventions, ensuring they are durable, inclusive, and capable of delivering measurable impact rather than short-term relief.

Ebenco’s social initiatives currently benefit people from different ethnic groups and regions across Nigeria, reinforcing an inclusive and nationwide approach to development. According to Mrs. Oluwagbemiga, the company is deliberate about ensuring its interventions cut across social and cultural boundaries as it expands its impact footprint.

Youth empowerment remains the cornerstone of Ebenco’s social impact strategy. Through education, counselling, skill acquisition, and mentorship programmes, the company is actively working to take vulnerable youths off the streets and equip them to become productive, self-reliant members of society.

“Youth empowerment is of utmost importance to our social impact vision,” she said, noting that investing in young people is central to building resilient communities and a sustainable future.

Ebenco’s approach to social responsibility also begins internally. Guided by the principle that charity begins at home, the company places strong emphasis on staff welfare and support for workers and their families, recognising that a stable workforce strengthens both organisational performance and community impact.

Mrs. Oluwagbemiga, a trained nurse with a deep passion for humanitarian work, NGO engagement, and philanthropy, brings a strong people-centred perspective to Ebenco’s social initiatives. Her commitment to supporting the vulnerable in different areas of philantrophy continues to shape the company’s outreach priorities.

As Ebenco continues to expand globally, its social impact vision is expected to grow in scale and influence. By aligning humanitarian support, youth empowerment, and staff welfare with a long-term outlook, the company is positioning social impact as a lasting legacy and a defining pillar of its corporate identity.
