Fidelity Bank Plc has donated essential firefighting gear, including hoses and gasoline water pumps, to the Ikoyi Fire Service Station in Lagos.
The donation, executed under the bank’s Fidelity Helping Hands Programme by the True Serve team, supports community safety and emergency response.
Staff members identify critical needs, raise funds, and receive matching bank contributions to implement projects through the programme.
Divisional Head of Brand and Communications Dr Meksley Nwagboh stated that the initiative reflects Fidelity Bank’s commitment to environmental protection and public safety.
He emphasised preventive measures over reactive responses, aiming to equip responders for effective fire management.
