In continuation of its impactful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, Fidelity Bank Plc has extended its Fidelity Food Bank outreach to residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, donating food packs to underserved communities.
Themed “Fidelity Food Bank Initiative,” the program saw bank officials distributing food items to seven communities within the Mabushi district. The initiative is part of the bank’s broader efforts to combat hunger and promote social welfare across Nigeria.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Sufiyanu Garba, Executive Director, North, Fidelity Bank Plc, emphasized the bank’s alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 2, which focuses on zero hunger. “This initiative stems from our deep-seated responsibility to support underserved communities and contribute to the fight against hunger in Nigeria,” he said. “While we may not be able to solve every societal challenge, initiatives like this demonstrate our commitment to making a meaningful difference.”
Mr. Garba also highlighted the bank’s vision for sustainable impact, stating that community empowerment remains a priority for Fidelity Bank.
“We recognize the importance of fostering growth and prosperity in the communities where we operate. By investing in people’s well-being, we contribute to building a more inclusive and equitable society,” he added.
The Fidelity Food Bank initiative is one of the core components of the bank’s CSR framework, focusing on health and social welfare. It aims to alleviate food insecurity in vulnerable communities across Nigeria, with particular focus on women and children.
The District Head of Mabushi, Mr. Hassan Danagna, lauded the bank’s gesture, describing it as timely and impactful.
“Fidelity Bank's support is unprecedented. At a time of economic hardship and as we approach the holy month of Ramadan, this assistance brings relief to many families,” he remarked.
One of the beneficiaries, Mr. Mukhtar Mohamed, expressed heartfelt appreciation, noting that the food distribution had significantly eased the burden on his household.
