FIDELITY BANK ENHANCES EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES IN BENIN, ABUJA
Fidelity Bank Plc, a leading financial institution in Nigeria, has reaffirmed its dedication to education and community development through its latest Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. The bank recently carried out two major education-focused projects in Benin City, Edo State, and Abuja, further strengthening its commitment to quality education and youth empowerment.
LIBRARY RENOVATION AT EMOTAN COLLEGE, BENIN-CITY
In Benin-City, Edo State, Fidelity Bank renovated the library at Emotan College, Wire Road, under the Fidelity Helping Hands Program (FHHP). This initiative was led by the Phoenix Inductee Class of Fidelity Bank, demonstrating the bank’s approach to employee-driven community projects.
During the handover ceremony, Ovie Mukoro, Regional Bank Head, Midwest 1, emphasized how the project aligns with the bank’s CSR pillars, particularly in promoting education and youth development. “The renovation project reflects Fidelity Bank’s commitment to enhancing the lives of its host communities through the dedication and generosity of its newly inducted staff, who voluntarily contributed funds to support the project,” Mukoro stated.
Expressing gratitude, Mrs. Idukpaye Henrietta, Principal of Emotan Junior College, noted that Fidelity Bank’s investment in the school is an investment in Nigeria’s future. Mrs. Sandra Iyalekhue, Acting Education Secretary of Oredo LGEA, also commended the bank, stating that the upgraded library will enhance students' learning experiences and research opportunities.
FURNITURE DONATION TO LEA SCHOOL, ABUJA
In Abuja, Fidelity Bank donated 40 tables and chairs to LEA School in the Federal Capital Territory. This initiative, spearheaded by the Prodigies Inductees Class under the FHHP, is aimed at addressing the shortage of classroom furniture and promoting better learning conditions.
Meksley Nwagboh, Divisional Head of Brand and Communications at Fidelity Bank Plc, highlighted the bank’s commitment to education as a key driver of national development. “At Fidelity Bank, we recognize the importance of supporting education as a tool for improving society. Through initiatives like this, we aim to ensure that every child has access to essential educational resources and can become an asset to their family, community, and the nation,” Nwagboh stated.
Mr. Mohamed Musa, Headmaster of LEA School, expressed appreciation for the bank’s intervention, noting that the donation will prevent students from sitting on the floor during lessons. He also encouraged other corporate organizations to support quality education initiatives.
