Fidelity Bank Plc has reaffirmed its commitment to advancing quality education and youth empowerment with the renovation of an administrative building to Community Secondary School, Enugwuabo Ufuma, in Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The one-storey administrative block was comprehensively renovated as part of the bank’s interventions to address infrastructural challenges faced by the school.
The renovated facility was then formally handed over to the school community at a ceremony attended by government officials, community leaders, and other stakeholders.
At the official handover ceremony, the bank’s Regional Head for Awka, Dr. Nosa Orumwense, said that the project underscores the financial institution’s long-standing commitment to investing in education as a catalyst for sustainable development.
‘For us at Fidelity Bank, this project represents more than a building. It represents opportunity, progress, and a shared commitment to building a better future for our youths here in Enugwuabo Ufuma and beyond.
‘By improving the educational infrastructure of this community, we are providing students and teachers with an environment that promotes learning, discipline, and pride’, Orumwense said.
Also, the state Commissioner for Education, Prof. Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, who represented Governor Chukwuma Soludo, described the project as a true demonstration of corporate social responsibility.
She said: Corporate social responsibility is what gives an organisation its human nature. What Fidelity Bank has done reflects compassion and a genuine commitment to touching lives.
‘This school was earlier placed on an emergency list due to the deplorable condition of its buildings. During my last visit, I was genuinely concerned about the safety of both students and teachers. Today, the school wears a new look, thanks to Fidelity Bank’s support’.
The Commissioner also expressed the state government’s appreciation to the bank, saying: ‘We thank Fidelity Bank for this intervention, which clearly demonstrates the true meaning of corporate social responsibility – making tangible impacts that improve lives and strengthen communities’.
The project forms part of the bank’s broader CSR strategy focused on empowering communities, strengthening educational institutions, and creating long-term socio-economic value across Nigeria.
