experienced in the community in recent times.
Speaking at
the inauguration ceremony, the Divisional Head, Brand and Communication Plc,
Fidelity Bank, Meksley Nwagboh, said the dignity of every human person is a
shared responsibility. The bank decided to embark on the project as a means of
improving the living condition of people in the community and as part of the
bank’s social responsibility to its host community.
Expressing gratitude to the leadership of the community for giving the bank the opportunity to execute the project, Nwagboh said, “What we are doing today is not different from what we have been doing in communities, local governments and states across the country over the years. As a socially responsible organisation, we take it upon ourselves to impact our host communities positively through developmental initiatives such as these.

everyone who made it possible for us to touch the lives of the people
positively in this community and we remain committed to playing our part in
helping individuals grow, thrive and prosper”.
On his part,

commending Fidelity Bank for the donation of a water facility and the
renovation works at the Primary Healthcare Clinic, reiterated the state government's
commitment to continue to support commercial banks to boost the economy of the
state.

Development Agency to utilise the upgraded facility with care to encourage the
bank and other private investors to continue to support the less-privileged
people of the state.
"I want
to use this opportunity to call on the management of the NAPHDA to ensure

beyond. This will go a long way in encouraging other private sector players to
extend the same gesture to other communities in the state," he said.
