Fidelity Bank Plc, a leading financial institution in Nigeria, has demonstrated its commitment to corporate social responsibility by extending support to residents of the Makoko waterfront community in Lagos.
The bank donated boats, educational materials, food items, and other essential relief items to the community.
The donation was made through the Fidelity Helping Hands Programme (FHHP), the bank’s staff-led CSR initiative. The program allows members of staff to identify areas of critical intervention in their communities, raise funds, and receive matching support from the bank’s management to execute projects.
The Divisional Head, Brand and Communications, Fidelity Bank Plc, Dr. Meksley Nwagboh, said the bank’s commitment goes beyond banking and is about improving lives, supporting education, and creating opportunities for growth.
“At Fidelity Bank, we believe that when communities thrive, businesses prosper. Our commitment goes beyond banking, it is about improving lives, supporting education, and creating opportunities for growth,” he stated.
The traditional leader of Makoko, Baale Shemede Emmanuel Ajakaekun, expressed gratitude to Fidelity Bank for the donation, saying it would make a huge difference in the lives of the residents.
The Proprietor of Part of Solution Orphanage, Nursery, and Primary School, Shemede Taiwo, also thanked the bank for the donation, saying it would help ensure children get to school safely and improve the welfare of the residents.
The Makoko outreach is part of Fidelity Bank’s ongoing efforts to empower communities across Nigeria through the FHHP.
The bank has consistently demonstrated its commitment to sustainable development and giving back to the community.
Ranked among the best banks in Nigeria, Fidelity Bank Plc is a full-fledged Commercial Deposit Money Bank serving over 9.1 million customers through digital banking channels and its 255 business offices in Nigeria and the UK.
