As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, a  leading financial institution in Nigeria, Fidelity Bank Plc, has on Thursday May 9th 2024 renovated the Primary Healthcare Clinic along the Workers Village in Tudun Amba Community of Lafia, Lafia Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.

The bank also provided water facilities to ameliorate issues of water scarcity being 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 is a shared responsibility noting that 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, and States government 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.

“On behalf of the management and staff of Fidelity Bank, I want to say thank you to 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, the Commissioner of Health, Nasarawa State, Dr. Gaza Gwamna, while commending Fidelity Bank for the donation of a water facility and the renovation works at the Primary Healthcare Clinic, reiterated the State government under Governor Abdullahi Sule’s commitment to support commercial banks to boost the economy status of the State.

The Commissioner who was represented by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mr. John Damina, further called on the Nasarawa State Primary Healthcare 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 in the State.

“I want to use this opportunity to call on the management of the NAPHDA to ensure proper utilisation of this facility for the good of the host community and 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.

Ranked as one of the best banks in Nigeria, Fidelity Bank is a full-fledged customer commercial bank with over 8.5 million customers serviced across its 251 business offices in Nigeria and the United Kingdom as well as on digital banking channels.
