Fidelity Bank Plc has introduced the "Lighting Young Minds" initiative, donating solar-powered school bags to pupils in public primary schools across Ogun State. This project aims to address the challenges faced by students in areas with limited electricity access, enabling them to study safely at night without the risks associated with traditional lighting methods.
Dr. Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, Managing Director and CEO of Fidelity Bank, emphasized the transformative power of education and the bank's commitment to expanding access to quality education. She highlighted the initiative's alignment with the bank's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts, particularly in promoting sustainable energy use in education.
The solar-powered bags are designated for schools across all 20 local government areas in Ogun State. The initiative reflects Fidelity Bank's broader mission to empower Nigeria's future generations through inclusive and sustainable educational solutions.
