Fidelity Bank distributes food packs to FCT communities

Fidelity Bank Plc has donated food packs to residents of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, as part of its corporate social responsibility initiative.

The Fidelity Food Bank outreach saw the bank’s officials distribute the food items to seven communities in the Mabushi district of the FCT.

The Fidelity Food Bank is one of the key pillars of the bank’s CSR strategy, focusing on health and social welfare. The bank said the initiative was a nationwide project to provide food relief to underserved communities across Nigeria, particularly women and children.

Speaking at the distribution event, the Executive Director, North, Fidelity Bank Plc, Mr Sufiyanu Garba, emphasised the bank’s commitment to community development and its alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 2, which seeks to eradicate hunger.

“This initiative stems from our deep-seated responsibility to support underserved communities and contribute to the fight against hunger in Nigeria,” said Garba. “At Fidelity Bank, we firmly believe that by addressing the root causes of poverty and hunger, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need. While we may not be able to solve all societal challenges, our contributions are making a difference, as evidenced by the positive feedback we continue to receive.”

He reiterated the bank’s commitment to empowering communities. He explained, “We recognise the importance of fostering growth and prosperity within the communities where we operate. By investing in their well-being, we contribute to the creation of a more sustainable and equitable society.”

Expressing appreciation for the initiative, the District Head of Mabushi Community, Mr. Hassan Danagna, commended Fidelity Bank for its generosity and its impact on the community.

“Fidelity Bank’s support for our community is unprecedented, and we are deeply grateful for this initiative, which provides relief to vulnerable households and less privileged families,” said Mr. Danagna.

One of the beneficiaries, Mr Mukhtar Mohamed, also expressed his gratitude to the bank, acknowledging the significant impact of the food distribution.
