Staff of the Vintage Press Limited, publishers of The Nation, toured the Lekki Conservation Centre (LCC), Lagos to promote relaxation and stronger relationships. The outing held last Saturday brought together staff from various departments alongside some family members and children.
The visit provided an opportunity for employees to unwind outside the workplace and participate in recreational activities including a four-a-side football match, snooker, chess, cards, Ludo and other outdoor games.
A major attraction was the centre’s 401-metre canopy walkway, which is about 73feet above the forest floor. The walkway is regarded as one of the longest canopy walkways in Africa.
The monkeys also provided entertainment as they dared the visitors while in search of food, prompting guests to hold on tightly to their belongings.
Speaking at the centre, Executive Director Finance and Administration, Vintage Press Limited, Mr. Sunday Adeleke said the initiative was designed to strengthen relationships among employees.
Adeleke urged staff not to allow disagreements arising from official duties to affect their personal relationships.
“We are just a sub-component of a unit, working together to achieve one goal. Workplace disagreements, queries and official communications should be regarded as part of the working environment rather than personal conflicts,” he said.
The EDFA tasked employees to assist one another, share ideas and contribute to creating a better working environment.
