Fidelity Bank Supports Education in Mushin with School Bag Donation

Lagos, Nigeria – Fidelity Bank Plc has reinforced its commitment to quality education and community development through the donation of school bags and other educational materials to students of Eko Boys Junior High School, Mushin, Lagos State.

The initiative was executed under the Fidelity Helping Hands Programme (FHHP), the bank’s staff-driven Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) platform, which empowers employees to identify community needs and receive matching support from the bank to implement sustainable solutions.

Speaking at the event, Dr. Meksley Nwagboh, Divisional Head of Brand and Communications at Fidelity Bank, emphasized the importance of education as a tool for societal transformation.

“Education remains one of the most powerful tools for transforming lives and shaping the future of our nation. At Fidelity Bank, we believe our role goes beyond financial services. Through our CSR pillars and the FHHP, we are committed to creating real social impact. By supporting these young students today, we are helping to equip the next generation with confidence, hope, and the tools they need to thrive,” he said.

The donation, facilitated by the Team Eminence Inductees Class of 2025, was warmly received by the school management, teachers, and students.

Mr. Falola Gabriel, Principal of Eko Boys Junior High School, expressed gratitude to Fidelity Bank, highlighting the importance of partnerships in improving education. “We sincerely thank Fidelity Bank for this generous gesture. While the school bags will greatly benefit our students, we also appeal for continued support in other areas such as computers, fans, and classroom furniture, which are essential to enhancing the teaching and learning environment,” he said.

Mrs. Kasunmu Mercy, Vice Principal, noted that the school bags would ease the financial burden on parents while helping students organize their learning materials effectively. Student beneficiaries, including Ojomo David, expressed excitement and appreciation for the bank’s support.

Through the FHHP, Fidelity Bank continues to promote access to quality education, support underserved communities, and foster a culture of giving among employees, reinforcing the bank’s commitment to creating lasting positive change beyond traditional banking services.
