Economy Crisis: Fidelity Bank takes food distribution to Zamfara Community

As the effects of the economic meltdown continue to hit hard, Fidelity Bank Plc, a foremost financial institution in Nigeria, has donated over 3000 food items to vulnerable households and less privileged families in Gusau, Zamfara State.

The handout is part of the bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiative, which was born for the sole purpose of reaching out to vulnerable persons and helping reduce the effect of hunger in society.

Speaking at the event, the bank’s Regional Head, North West 2, Muhammad Ahijo, noted that the Fidelity Food Bank Initiative is aimed at alleviating the hardship experienced by many in the face of current economic challenges in the country.

“At Fidelity Bank, we recognize the importance of supporting and empowering communities to grow and prosper, and we believe that by investing in the well-being of the communities where we operate, we contribute to the creation of a better society for all.”

“We firmly believe that by addressing the root causes of poverty and alleviating hunger, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need. And in light of this, Fidelity Bank has donated 3,000 food packs to vulnerable families in the state to help them get through these tough times.” He stated.

The Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Alhaji Mukhtar Lugga, lauded the bank’s efforts, saying, “We are grateful for the kind gesture from Fidelity Bank in providing support to vulnerable households and less privileged families in our community.
This is coming at a time when people cannot afford a meal before and during the holy month of Ramadan.”.

Also speaking, the Accountant General of Zamfara State, Alhaji Ali-Akilu Muhammad, thanked Fidelity Bank for its generosity and urged other banks operating in the state to emulate the Fidelity Bank gesture by providing succor to the less privileged families in the state.
