Fidelity Bank Plc, a financial institution in Nigeria, has demonstrated its unwavering commitment to education and community development with the donation of a newly renovated block of classrooms and textbooks to Aso Pada Government Secondary School in Nasarawa State.
The project was carried out under the bank’s Fidelity Helping Hands Program (FHHP) a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative that empowers staff to identify local needs, raise funds, and benefit from matching contributions from the bank.
The initiative was championed by the Elite Bankers class of inductees, who voluntarily contributed funds that were then matched by Fidelity Bank.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, Divisional Head, Brand and Communications at Fidelity Bank, Dr. Meksley Nwagboh, emphasised the bank’s long-term commitment to supporting youth empowerment and quality education.
“The school was selected due to its significant role in shaping the lives of Mararaba’s residents. We encourage the beneficiaries to make the most of the facility and reaffirm our dedication to strengthening education across Nigeria.”
The Vice Principal (Administration) of Aso Pada Government Secondary School, Mr. Abdullahi Idris, expressed profound gratitude to the bank for its generous support and also acknowledged ongoing efforts by the government to improve learning environments.
“Your investment in our school is an investment in the future of our nation,” he said.
The intervention is the latest in a series of educational support projects by Fidelity Bank. Recently, the bank donated 1,000 schoolbags fitted with solar-powered lamps to schoolchildren in Ogun State, further solidifying its role as a socially responsible organization focused on empowering the next generation.
