5–9 October 2026Nigeria

The extra mile
is personal.

A week of choosing to care a little more—for our customers, our communities and one another.

Day 01

It starts with how we care

We began with a reminder of what service can mean to someone. Across leadership messages, appreciation calls and a career conversation, the focus was on people—and on the care we bring to our work. The first day set a simple intention: to carry that care into every conversation with a customer and every moment with a colleague.

The opening message

Care begins with people

A reminder to carry the spirit of service into the week—and into the work that follows.

Appreciation

A call to say thank you

Leaders took time to thank customers for their trust. Appreciation also turned inward, recognising the colleagues who bring care to everyday service.

Growth

Growing together

A career conversation invited us to take ownership, stay resilient and keep developing. Making time to learn together was part of caring for the people behind the service.

Day 02

Three birthdays. Moments to remember.

On Tuesday, we surprised three loyal customers with birthday celebrations. There was no advance notice. One customer shared that she had never been celebrated before—a reminder of how much a thoughtful gesture can mean. The visits gave us a chance to share our appreciation in person and turn an ordinary day into something to remember.

A personal surprise

A celebration they didn’t see coming

Cake, a visit and a moment of recognition. The birthday surprises made appreciation personal for three loyal customers.

Day 03

The energy of one team

We brought our different voices and strengths to the same theme. Presentations, movement and moments of fun gave us space to learn from one another, encourage one another and enjoy being one team. From sharing ideas to exercising and dancing together, the day showed how much energy there is in making time for each other.

Shared ideas

The extra mile in our own words

Our team brought the theme into a shared presentation, giving different voices room to contribute to the same conversation.

Movement

Taking care of ourselves

A shared workout brought movement and encouragement into the day. Looking after one another includes making time for ourselves.
