Fidelity Bank donates water treatment plant to Navy

Staff of Fidelity Bank Plc. working under the auspices of the Fidelity Helping Hands Programme (FHHP), a special vehicle for the bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), constructed a water treatment plant and donated computers and other office equipment to the Nigerian Naval Medical Centre, Naval Dockyard, Victoria Island Lagos yesterday.

Commissioning the project, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Fidelity Bank Plc. Nnamdi Okonkwo, said the Bank, as a socially responsible institution, takes pride in its humble accomplishment in entrenching the culture of true and responsible citizenship among staff members through regular training programmes and integration exercises in the Bank’s various business offices.

“It is this passion for our country and our people that has motivated the staff driven initiative, which we fondly call the Fidelity Helping Hands Programme”.

While commending the staff of the Human Resources Division of the bank, who in their little corners, contributed their widow’s mite to construct the water treatment plant and provide office equipment for the Naval Medical Centre, Okonkwo noted that Fidelity Bank is the only bank in the country where staff members take on such laudable project.

Commander of the hospital, Rear Admiral Jeremiah Onubi, told newsmen that the gesture would go a long ways to alleviate the problems of the Hospital. He urged other corporate organizations to take a cue from the bank in order to make the society a better place.
