As
part of its corporate social responsibility initiatives, international hair
care brand, Natures Gentle Touch, manufactured by Recare Limited recently graduated
some students from its hair institute.
Speaking
on the graduation of the students,
Mr Ramesh Hullur, Chief Executive Officer, Recare Limited stated that the
institute’s nine months intensive training programme empowers students with theoretical
and practical skills needed to establish financial sustenance in the beauty and
personal care industry.
‘’The Natures Gentle Touch Hair Institute was
established to bridge the gap in hair care services in Nigeria. Our students
are exposed to modern styling equipment and experts, who take them through
courses in cosmetology, trichology and professional development ‘’, he said.
In
similar vein, Mr Daniel Komlan, Field Education Manager, Recare Limited said
that, ‘’The Institute was set up to redefine hair care services in the country.
We realized that there were no professionally trained hair stylists and as a
result many women were suffering from different hair and scalp problems. We
decided to give formal training to stylists and develop products to help solve
these problems’’
The
Natures Gentle Touch Hair Institute provides student with the knowledge and
skills to elevate the hair care services industry to international standards.
Students graduating from the institute also have huge potentials to make impact
in various other fields beyond the salon. They are employable in the media
industry as beauty care experts or product development executives in cosmetic
companies.
Commending
the training programme, Oluwatobi Sangonuga, one of the graduating students
said ‘’ it is a privilege for me to have participated in the nine months
training. The training has sharpened my artistry and given me a treasure that
no one can take from me. I am very happy I participated and hope to establish
my business someday’’.

Saro
is the story of four young people in an age-old search for greener
pasture, who migrates to Lagos with little else but an abundance of
hopes and dreams, where they are duly reoriented by the people and
experiences they encounter on their journey of self-realization. Weaving
together the trials, misfortunes, love, and destinies of the foursome
into a 14-act masterpiece, Saro tells the
unforgettable and inspiring story of the journey to success in a city
filled with broken dreams, as we see Lagos personified by its numerous
colorful and unforgettable characters, frenetic pace of living, and
endless drama.
Its
successful showing at the grand ballroom of the Oriental Hotel,
Victoria Island, drew notable names in the Nigerian arts sector such as
Prof. Wole Soyinka, Olu & Joke Jacobs, Taiwo Ajai-Lycett, Odia
Ofeimun, Tunde Kelani and Femi Odugbemi, Teju Babyface, and Steve Onuh
aka Yaw, as well as dignitaries like Ex Governor of Lagos State; Bola
Tinubu, Disu Holloway, Edem Duke, minister of tourism, arts and culture,
Arunmeh Otteh DG SEC, various ambassadors and other notable names from
government and the private sector, and garnered critical praise and
attention from media as well as critics all over the world. With high
praise showered on the play and its production team, a number of
impressed audience members expressed their hopes that the show would
tour the country, and eventually be showcased to the world. This year, Saro will return to fulfill the demands of Nigerians who have clamored for its return.
Boasting a 100-man cast performing on a one-of-its-kind custom-built stage, Saro
traces and pays homage to Nigeria’s rich musical history by beautifully
rendering some our greatest hits over the years, while also delivers
its own ingeniously composed original music. Masterfully combining this
with the impeccably choreographed dance routines and unforgettably
charged performances delivered by a talented and attractive cast, Saro
is a theatrical joy that gallops swiftly through its fourteen acts to
tell the story of Lagos settlers; immigrants who come from all over the
country and indeed the world, to create a new and hopefully successful
life in this bustling and exciting melting-pot.
