HOLY MALLAM’S GOOD HANDS REACH OUT TO SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Lagos State, Nigeria: June 9, 2011— As part of the road map for the Holy Mallam brand, Good Hands, the social responsibility project of Holy Mallam, Nigeria’s pioneer gospel and ethical comedian is set to make a positive impact on the lives of secondary school students in Nigeria. The Good Hands project aims at inspiring the student participants towards the realization of the potentials of their God given talents as critical to instilling positive values in their personal lives, society and the world at large.

Recently, Holy Mallam and Good Hands team members were at Laurel Schools situated at Jakande Estate, Oke-Afa, Isolo, where he charged the senior secondary students through inspiring true stories about his life and other motivating illustrations. The Holy Mallam Good Hands project also incorporated corporate support from Nigeria’s leading pharmaceutical company, Greenlife Pharmaceuticals. Products specific for secondary school students were donated for free to the students of Laurel Schools at Jakande Estate, Oke-Afa, Isolo.

During the coaching session, Holy Mallam mentioned that in Nigeria today, we had between 7.6% and 9.9% of our annual expenditure devoted to education and urged the students to look within themselves and identify with their God given potentials as an addition to their core education curriculum. In his words, “Every human being has been bequeathed with one, two or more talents and the best time to develop those talents is at one’s youthful stage. The students should fuse the excellent education that they were getting and the constructive exploitation of their talents while adding value at every point.”

At the end of the program, the school management expressed their gratitude and commended the Good Hands initiative by Holy Mallam as a laudable act that other individuals and corporate organizations should imitate. The Good Hands projects initially intends reaching out to secondary schools within the Lagos environs and progressively, set out to other states in Nigeria.
