Greenpeg Hosts University of Lagos Students for CSR Visit: Shaping the Future of Engineering
What happens when fresh minds meet the hum of machinery, the precision of panel wiring, and the problem-solving energy of real-world engineers? That’s exactly what we discovered when some students from the University of Lagos stepped into Greenpeg Engineering for a day of learning, mentorship, and an unforgettable experience.
They arrived expecting a tour. They left with insights, connections, and even a few practical tools to carry into their future careers.
A Warm Welcome and Words of Wisdom
From the moment they entered the building, the students were met by members of our team who shared their personal experiences, offered career guidance, and opened up about the realities of working in the engineering sector.
One of the highlights of the welcome session was a video presentation featuring the owner of Greenpeg, who shared his inspiring story — how he built the company from the ground up, the challenges faced, and how Greenpeg has stood strong in the industry for the past 15 years.
A Glimpse into Greenpeg Academy
Next stop was Greenpeg Academy, our dedicated training hub for engineering and automation courses. The students were introduced to the equipment used in our programs, from PLCs to automation systems.
Curiosity was high — questions came in rapid succession as our instructors explained how these tools are applied in real projects, bridging the gap between theory and practice.
Touring the Heart of Greenpeg
After the academy visit, the students were given a full tour of our building, seeing the different departments that work together to deliver our engineering solutions. The final stop was our workshop floor. Here, they observed how panels are built from scratch, from component selection to assembly, wiring, safety checks, and performance testing.
Mentorship That Inspires
Throughout the day, our engineers shared not just technical skills, but also the mindset needed to excel in the industry. problem-solving under pressure, teamwork, and the discipline to deliver consistent quality.
A Gift to Remember the Day
As part of our tradition of making CSR moments memorable, each student left with a Greenpeg gift pack — containing safety bump caps, reflective jackets, branded bags, jotters, and biros. These items were not only practical tools for their future careers but also symbolic reminders of the importance of safety and professionalism in the field of engineering.
To make the day even more special, we provided snacks and a meal, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that fostered conversation and connection.
Why CSR Matters to Us
At Greenpeg, we believe that knowledge shared is innovation multiplied. Initiatives like this go beyond corporate obligation — they are an investment in the future of our industry and our nation. By equipping young engineers with both practical skills and the confidence to dream big, we contribute to a stronger, more capable workforce for tomorrow.
Looking Ahead
The visit ended with group photos, laughter, and plenty of questions — a sign that curiosity had been sparked and possibilities had been opened. For us at Greenpeg, it was a reminder of why we do what we do: to engineer solutions today, while empowering the engineers of tomorrow.
