Speaking during the onboarding to flag-off the program held in Calabar on April 5, 2024, the Plant manager, Lafarge Africa, Sotirios Valsamakis, who was represented by the human resources business partner, Lafarge Africa, Barong Ita, revealed that, the programme is in line with the company's commitment to diversity and inclusion.
We also recognize the need for greater and greener diversity and inclusivity within the tech sector. Today's event is about challenging stereotypes," Valsamakis said.
