In a bold move to drive economic growth and development, Fidelity Bank Plc has announced its partnership with the Nigeria Youth Economics Engagement and De-Radicalization Programme (NIYEEDEP).
This initiative, launched by the Federal Ministry of Youth Development in collaboration with the Nigerian Senate, aims to empower Nigerian youths and create 6 million jobs in key sectors such as agriculture, technology, and renewable energy.
According to Osita Ede, Divisional Head, Product Development at Fidelity Bank Plc, this partnership aligns with the bank’s mission to help individuals grow, inspire businesses to thrive, and empower economies to prosper.
“We believe that Nigeria’s youthful population is a blessing, and initiatives like this will go a long way in unlocking the value in our teeming young population,” Ede explained.
To participate in the program, interested individuals between the ages of 18 and 35 are required to open a Fidelity Bank account through the bank’s website or by visiting a nearby branch.
Ede urged potential participants to act quickly, as spaces are limited, and to provide accurate details to receive necessary updates as the program kicks off.
Fidelity Bank, one of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions, serves over 8.5 million customers through its 255 business offices in Nigeria and the United Kingdom, as well as through digital banking channels.
The bank has received numerous local and international awards, including the Export Finance Bank of the Year at the 2023 BusinessDay Banks and Other Financial Institutions (BAFI) Awards.
With this partnership, Fidelity Bank reinforces its commitment to empowering Nigerian youths and driving economic growth.
As the program rolls out, it is expected to have a significant impact on the country’s economy and the lives of its young people.
