Speaking at the event, Divisional Head, Brand and Communications, Fidelity Bank Plc, Dr Meksley Nwagboh, emphasized the Bank’s philosophy of fostering a symbiotic relationship with society.
“Our success as a financial institution is built on the trust and patronage of our customers. Without the community, we do not exist. This understanding has shaped our consistent investment in initiatives that touch lives across classes and ages through our CSR pillars,” he said.
“The donation to the elderly home is not just about material support, but about showing love, dignity, and respect to our senior citizens, while reaffirming our culture of service to humanity.”
Residents of the home responded with warmth and gratitude, offering heartfelt prayers and blessings to Fidelity Bank.
Capturing the collective appreciation of the community, a beneficiary remarked, “God will reward you in a large way and take you higher”.
