As part of its ongoing commitment to community development and the fight against hunger, leading financial institution, Fidelity Bank Plc has donated hundreds of food packs to residents of Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State through its flagship Fidelity Food Bank program.

The initiative is the bank’s nationwide food intervention aimed at alleviating hunger and cushioning the impact of economic hardship on underserved people across Nigeria. Since its launch in April 2023, the Food Bank has distributed over 250,000 food packs to beneficiaries across Nigeria’s six geo-political zones.

Speaking about the distribution event held in Ado-Ekiti, Divisional Head, Brand and Communications, Fidelity Bank Plc, Dr Meksley Nwagboh, explained that “The Fidelity Food Bank is our way of responding to the rising levels of hunger in Nigeria. It is a proactive and compassionate CSR effort that has so far reached over 300 communities nationwide. We are proud to extend our coverage to Ado-Ekiti to continue that mission,”

“We have sustained this initiative for more than two years and it reflects our enduring commitment to addressing poverty and hunger across Nigeria. At Fidelity Bank we will continue to play our part in promoting food security for the unprivileged.

The event received commendations from stakeholders and beneficiaries alike. The Cathedral Administrator, Saint Patrick Catholic Cathedral, Reverend Father Benedict Bimbola Joseph praised Fidelity Bank for its generosity and partnership:

“Fidelity Bank has brought much-needed relief to our people in Ado-Ekiti. This is a welcome development and a first of its kind in our community. We hope other corporate organizations will emulate this gesture, as no contribution is too small if it brings relief to people during these trying times.”
