“The internet is a good resource for academic work as well as for sharing of information in a cost effective manner and there is no doubt about the values it has brought to the society. However, there is need for caution as excessive exposure/use of the internet and other social media tools could adversely affect children in their formative years”, she stated.
She tasked the students to remain focused and work hard for the attainment of their respective dreams while making career choices. “You can be anything you want to be. No dream is too big, keep your focus and never allow anything to distract you”, she advised.
She had informed the students of the core values of the Bank which include: teamwork, honesty, integrity, excellence, dependability, empathy and passion adding that the values are philosophies that guide the business in fulfilling its obligation to stakeholders
The hosting of the Holy Child College students by the MD/CEO of Unity Bank at the Bank’s Head Office in Lagos was the climax of week-long activities which witnessed the excursion of many schools across the country to different branches of Unity Bank in commemoration of this years’ children’s day celebration.
