Fidelity Bank Awards Millions to NYSC Members in GAIM 6 Promo 

Fidelity Bank Plc has reinforced its commitment to financial inclusion, youth empowerment, and a strong savings culture by awarding nine National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members N500,000 each in business grants under its *Get Alert in Millions Season 6* (GAIM 6) promo.  

The initiative, which runs from November 2024 to August 2025, aims to reward loyal customers with cash prizes totaling N159 million. The campaign includes targeted draws for NYSC members, students, traders, and women, in addition to the general monthly and grand prize draws.  

Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Osita Ede, Divisional Head of Product Development at Fidelity Bank, highlighted the bank’s efforts to expand financial opportunities for its customers.  

*"When we launched GAIM 6 in November 2024, we emphasized inclusivity, which is why we have increased the total prize money to N159 million and introduced additional draws beyond the weekly and monthly ones from previous seasons,"* Ede explained.  

The nine corps members who emerged as winners in the first-quarter draw were selected through a transparent electronic process across various branches nationwide. They include:  

- **Oluwatosin Emmanuel Olowolayemo** (Uyo 2 Branch)  

- **Ekpeno Aniekan George** (Uyo 2 Branch)  

- **Derryk Chidubem Okafor** (Trans-Ekulu Branch)  

- **Aliyu Idris Adamu** (Tudun-Wada Kaduna Branch)  

- **Bomane-Aziba Koromo** (Nanka Close, Wuse Branch)  

- **Asabe Grace Adamu** (University of Maiduguri Branch)  

- **David Agbai Agwu** (Osogbo Branch)  

- **Abdullahi Opeyemi Olajuwon** (Airport Road, Lagos Branch)  

- **Eghosa George Orhue** (Ado Ekiti Branch)  

Expressing his gratitude, Derryk Chidubem Okafor, one of the winners, admitted he initially doubted the authenticity of the program.  

*"At first, I thought it was a scam when it was introduced at our orientation camp. But today, I am truly honored to receive this grant. It will go a long way in helping me achieve my entrepreneurial dreams,"* he said.  

Similarly, David Agbai Agwu shared his excitement about the unexpected win.  

*"When I got the call, I thought it was a prank. I never applied for anything, so it was hard to believe. But after verification, I realized it was real. I plan to invest the money in vocational training and digital skills development, particularly in fashion and painting, to establish a sustainable business,"* Agwu stated.  

Beyond the financial support, the winners will also receive free business advisory services and training at the newly launched **Fidelity SME Hub** in Lagos.
