…Hands Over Upgraded Facilities at Historic Kobi Government School
In a move to strengthen access to quality education, Fidelity Bank Plc has renovated three blocks of classrooms at the historic Kobi Government School in Bauchi State.
The project was carried out under the Bank’s Fidelity Helping Hands Programme (FHHP) and funded through voluntary contributions from staff of the Bauchi GRA Branch, which were matched by the Bank’s Management.
During the official handover ceremony, Dr. Musa Tarimbuka, Regional Bank Head – North-East, represented by Ibrahim Aliyu, Relationship Manager at the Bauchi GRA Branch, emphasized that the initiative reflects Fidelity Bank’s commitment to uplifting the communities it serves.
“This project demonstrates our belief that community development is integral to our success. The renovated classrooms represent the impact of collective action and our resolve to promote quality education and empower young people,” Aliyu said.
Receiving the newly renovated blocks on behalf of the state government, Bauchi State Commissioner for Education, Dr. Lawal Mohammed, lauded the bank’s intervention and urged other corporate bodies to emulate Fidelity Bank’s gesture.
“This is a remarkable contribution from Fidelity Bank. We assure you that the facility will be properly utilized. I encourage other organizations to support educational and infrastructural development across the state,” Dr. Mohammed stated.
