Addressing newsmen in Keffi during the distribution event tagged, ‘Fidelity Food Bank Initiative,’ which was carried out in partnership with ABBASID Charity Foundation, the Divisional Head, Brand and Communication, Fidelity Bank, Meksley Nwagboh, emphasised the bank’s commitment to supporting communities across Nigeria through its food bank initiative.
Nwagboh said: “Since April 2023 when we launched the Fidelity Food Bank initiative, we have distributed over 100,000 food packs in more than 100 communities nationwide. This is borne out of the premium we place on the well-being of our host communities, as well as our commitment to support the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1, 2 and 3, which speak to poverty eradication, zero hunger, good health and well-being, respectively.
