…as nation building initiative gathers momentum

One of Nigeria’s strong banks, STANBIC IBTC, has joined the train of partners for the MUSHIN MAKEOVER project, as the hugely anticipated Mushin Makeover project gathers momentum.

The vibrant bank comes on board as project supporters of this first-of-its-kind unprecedented nation building project that will draw over 5,000 volunteers to paint houses on seven MUSHIN streets on Saturday, December 12, 2009.
The Project has continued to enjoy the support of individuals and corporate organisations across Nigeria, as one of the finest paint producers in Nigeria, BERGER PAINTS, are also partnering to train about 100 unemployed Mushin youths on the art of painting preparatory to the exercise.
Other corporate organisations that are a part of the Mushin Makeover Project in various supporting roles include Wema Bank, DMT Mobile Toilets, Magic Eye Photography, Nestle Foods, Ben TV, Hi TV, Superscreen and Business Day Newspapers.
The MUSHIN MAKEOVER Project has already received the endorsement of the Lagos State Governor, His Excellency, Babatunde Fashola, who described the initiative as “a most welcome development”. The First Lady of the State, Mrs. Abimbola Fashola will also be flagging off the event on Saturday, as she puts brush on the first building to be painted.
The project has also enjoyed tremendous support from the entertainment industry, with celebrities like Alibaba, Stella Damascus, Tee A, Kate Henshaw, Denrele Edun, Teju Babyface, DJ Jimmy Jatt, DJ Gosporella amongst others coming out to endorse the project openly at a well attended Celebrity Endorsement/World Press Conference held recently.
The Mushin Makeover holds on Saturday December 12 on seven streets in Mushin Local Government namely; Agege Motor Road, Ogunmokun Road, Palm Avenue, Olateju Road, Olanibi/Ojekunle Street, Ladipo Street and Isolo Road. Houses will be painted simultaneously on these streets over a period of eight hours NON-STOP!
