Nigeria: GTCO begins Autism Programme
The Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO) annual autism program and follow-up consultations begin today, with many individuals expected to benefit.
Commenting on the Programme themed: ‘A Spectrum of Possibilities’, Group Chief Executive Officer of GTCO, Mr. Segun Agbaje, said: “Everyone has something special to offer, and we want to help individuals with autism succeed and lead healthy, supportive lives. By embracing autism as a strength and not a weakness, we can help individuals with ASD find their passion, develop skills, and make meaningful impacts in society.
“We are learning more about autism every day, and we are dedicated to using that kilo to make a positive difference. We believe that everyone deserves to live a fulfilling life, and we are committed to making that possible.”
“By working together, we can build a society that values, promotes inclusion, and empowers everyone to thrive.”
Addressing journalists recently at the bank’s headquarters in Lagos, Group Corporate Communication representative Charles Eremi highlighted the company’s long-standing support for individuals living with autism. He emphasized that the aim is to provide these individuals with opportunities to thrive in their chosen endeavors.
“Each year, we like to bring people here to talk more about this condition. We have grown it from awareness to advocacy and now we are at a point where we are building around autism and those in the spectrum.”
