Fidelity Bank Plc, a leading financial institution in Nigeria, has demonstrated its commitment to community-focused interventions with the donation of a newly renovated block of classrooms and textbooks to Aso Pada Government Secondary School in Nasarawa State.
The project was supported by the Fidelity Helping Hands Program (FHHP), a Corporate Social Responsibility initiative that enables Fidelity Bank staff to identify community needs, raise funds, and receive matched support from the bank.
The Elite Bankers class of inductees funded the project with voluntary contributions, which were matched by the bank.
Dr. Meksley Nwagboh, Divisional Head, Brand and Communications, highlighted that the project supports the bank’s focus on quality education and youth empowerment.
“The school was selected due to its role in the development of Mararaba’s residents,” he said. “We encourage the beneficiaries to put the facility to good use and reaffirm Fidelity Bank’s devotion to continue supporting quality education delivery across the country.”
The Vice Principal Administration of Aso Pada Government Secondary School, Abdullahi Idris, appreciated the bank for the kind gesture and lauded government efforts towards providing a better learning environment for the students.
“Your investment in our school is an investment in the future of our nation,” he said.
The donation comes on the heels of Fidelity Bank’s recent intervention in the Nigerian educational sector, where the bank donated 1,000 schoolbags fitted with solar-powered lamps to school children in Ogun State.
The bank’s commitment to quality education and community development is evident in its various initiatives aimed at empowering the next generation.
