Fidelity Bank Plc has reinforced its commitment to community safety and sustainable ecological practices through the donation of essential firefighting and preventive equipment to the Ikoyi Fire Service Station in Lagos.
The donation was made under the Fidelity Helping Hands Program (FHHP), a corporate social responsibility initiative that empowers staff to identify and support critical community needs.
The donated equipment includes hoses and gasoline water pumps, which will enhance the fire service’s response capabilities and promote public safety within the communities served by the bank.
According to Dr. Meksley Nwagboh, Divisional Head, Brand and Communications Division, Fidelity Bank Plc, “We believe that preventive measures are far more effective than reactionary responses. This donation is part of our efforts to drive sustainable practices by providing the necessary tools.”
Lagos State Controller, Federal Fire Service, Funke Adebayo, commended Fidelity Bank for the timely support, while cautioning residents to exercise heightened vigilance during the festive period, especially with the dry weather conditions.
The Area Commander, Onikan Fire Station, Chief Superintendent of Fire (CSF) Oswere Michael, expressed appreciation to Fidelity Bank for supporting their operations.
He encouraged families, business owners, and community members to prioritise fire safety at all times, noting that everyone has a role to play in preventing fire incidents.
Fidelity Bank Plc is a leading commercial deposit money bank serving over 9.1 million customers through digital banking channels and its 255 business offices in Nigeria and the UK.
The bank has received multiple local and international awards for its innovative products and services.
