Fidelity Bank Plc has expressed its commitment to advancing quality education and youth empowerment with the renovation of an administrative building in Community Secondary School, Enugwuabo Ufuma, in the Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
According to the bank, the renovation of the one-storey administrative block was part of its interventions to address infrastructural challenges faced by the school.
The renovated facility was formally handed over to the school community at a ceremony attended by government officials, community leaders, and other stakeholders.
Speaking at the official handover ceremony, the Regional Bank Head, Fidelity Bank Plc, Awka, Dr Nosa Orumwense, said the project underscores the bank’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 Enugwu-Abia, 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 speaking at the event, the Commissioner for Education, Professor Ngozi Chuma-Udeh, who represented the Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, described the project as a true demonstration of corporate social responsibility.
“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.” Chuma-Udeh said. “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 conveyed the state government’s gratitude to Fidelity 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 Fidelity Bank’s broader Corporate Social Responsibility strategy focused on empowering communities, strengthening educational institutions, and creating long-term socio-economic value across Nigeria.
