Investing in the Future: Fidelity Bank Supports Students with Donations

By Prince Benson Davies

Fidelity Bank Plc has donated relief and academic materials to the Government Junior Secondary School, Elekahia, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, as part of its commitment to education and youth development. The donation was made possible by the Suncrest Inductee Class under the Fidelity Helping Hands Programme (FHHP).

The bank’s management matched the staff’s contribution with an equal amount, disbursing it for the selected project. Divisional Head, Brand and Communications, Dr. Meksley Nwagboh, said, “We deliberately chose a public school because we understand the challenges many students face. We aim to provide support that not only aids academic performance but also inspires hope for a brighter future.”

The bank’s initiative for schools and students has spanned 15 years, with numerous schools benefiting nationwide. Dr. Nwagboh affirmed, “At Fidelity Bank, we believe that investing in the next generation is a direct investment in the future of our country.”

The school’s principal, Dr. Ekeh Florence, expressed heartfelt appreciation, saying, “We are sincerely grateful that Fidelity Bank remembered the students of our school.” The students described the donation as the first of its kind from any corporate organisation and pledged to make the best use of the materials.
