#Nasarawa: #Fidelity Bank’s #CSR Initiative Enhances Healthcare and Water Access
In a significant Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) move, Fidelity Bank Plc has refurbished the Primary Healthcare Clinic in Tudun Amba, Lafia, and installed vital water facilities to address the community’s water scarcity.
At the opening ceremony, Meksley Nwagboh, Divisional Head of Brand and Communication at Fidelity Bank, emphasized the bank’s commitment to improving living conditions and fulfilling its social responsibilities. “We are honored to contribute to the community’s well-being, reflecting our long-standing dedication to societal development,” Nwagboh stated.
The Honourable Commissioner of Health, Nasarawa State, Gaza Gwamna, praised Fidelity Bank’s contributions and urged the Nasarawa State Primary Healthcare Development Agency to maintain the new facilities diligently. “Such partnerships are invaluable for community development and we look forward to more collaborations,” Gwamna added.
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.
“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 Honourable Commissioner of Health, Nasarawa State, 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’s commitment to continue to support commercial banks to boost the economy of the state.
The Commissioner who was represented by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, 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 of the state.
“I want to use this opportunity to call on the management of the NAPHDA to ensure proper utilization 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.
