donated the sum of N10 million to Eunice Spring of Life Foundation
(ESLF), a pet project of the Benue First Lady.
The donation would enable the organisation, in no small measure
implement its many humanitarian projects designed specifically for the
people of Benue State. It would also cushion the effects of the COVID-19
pandemic on the less privileged in the state.
Speaking during the presentation of the cheque, Fidelity Bank’s
Executive Director, North, Hassan Imam, stated the bank was delighted
with ESLF’s interventions in its four strategic areas of Education,
Health, Governance and Economic Empowerment.
According to Imam, ESLF boasts of unique and sustainable initiatives
that would be most impactful in the lives of the vulnerable people in
the society. Whilst disclosing that the Foundation’s laudable
initiatives prompted the donation from the bank, he assured that the
donation would not be a one-off support.
Receiving the cheque on behalf of ESLF, the Founder of the organisation
and First Lady of Benue State, Dr. Eunice Ortom, expressed gratitude to
the bank for the gesture and promised that the foundation would make
judicious use of the financial support.
Earlier, the ESLF Programme Manager, Tine Agernor, pointed out that the
Foundation had intervened in the areas of skills acquisition, economic
empowerment for women and youths. Agernor said the Foundation was eager
to partner with well-meaning individuals and organisations to carry out
these humanitarian efforts.
Also present at the event were Fidelity Bank’s Regional Bank Head, North
Central, Sadi Zawayi; Branch Managing Director, Makurdi, Emmanuel Adukwu
the bank’s Branch Head in Benue State University, Makurdi, Annet Olije
