Lanre Shittu Motors (LSM) has intensified its efforts to combat financial crime among young people in Lagos State. As part of its commitment to youth development and corporate social responsibility, the company has distributed the book Clean Hands, Bright Future: A Youth Guide to Avoiding Financial Crime in Africa to over 150 public secondary schools across Lagos. The initiative, currently in its first phase, targets 200 schools in total.
The campaign, which began at Kuramo Senior College and Victoria Island Senior Secondary School, aims to educate students about various forms of financial crime, such as fraud, cybercrime, identity theft, and examination malpractice. It also promotes integrity, hard work, ethical leadership, and responsible citizenship. Mr. Adedayo Aluko, the author of the book, explained that the project was motivated by the rising incidence of financial crimes among youths and the necessity of addressing the issue through early education.
The book, published in May 2026 and endorsed by the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), contains over 100 examples of financial crime explained in simple language. It uses illustrations, practical examples, and relatable scenarios to engage and educate students effectively. The initiative extends beyond book distribution, with plans to conduct interactive enlightenment sessions, career talks, and mentorship programmes at beneficiary schools.
Lanre Shittu Motors' Managing Director, Mr. Taiwo Shittu, has been a long-time advocate for youth empowerment, education, and character development. During the book's launch, he presented copies to students and emphasized the importance of education, hard work, and skills acquisition as the most reliable paths to success. Shittu expressed the company's conviction that fostering the right values in young people is crucial in the fight against financial crime, as it contributes to building responsible citizens who will positively impact society.
Lanre Shittu Motors' commitment to corporate social responsibility is deeply rooted in the legacy of its founder and his father, the late Alhaji Rasak Olanrewaju Shittu. The company continues to honor his values of compassion, service, and giving back to society through its investments in education, youth development, and other impactful social interventions.
