Babylon also plays a role by contributing equally to support the education of the children of its workers.

He encouraged the young scholars to continue their efforts to contribute to our country’s growth and economy. Specially, the motivational speeches of Mr. Umeasiegbu and Ms. Lee from Tesco inspired the students to go beyond the boundaries.
