As part of contributions to improving security of lives and property in the state, Fidelity Bank Plc has donated N50 million to the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF).

Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, the bank’s executive director, Lagos and south-west, presented the cheque to Abdulrassaq Balogun, executive secretary of LSSTF, at a brief ceremony in Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos, on Monday.

Onyeali-Ikpe, who commended the state government for its commitment to preserving public peace, and protecting lives and property said security is paramount to business success.

According to her no activity can thrive in an atmosphere of uncertainty and insecurity.

“We are encouraged to support this initiative and kudos must be given to the Lagos state government for the peace we are enjoying in the state today. gWe have over 80 branches, about 2,000 staff and millions of customers in the state. We are concerned about their safety all the time” she said

Balogun commended the bank for the gesture, saying Fidelity had been consistent in its support to the Fund from inception till date.

According to him the bank has donated a total of N175 million to the LSSTF since the fund was established.

“Thank you Fidelity Bank. We are most appreciative of this and what is most touching for us is your consistency. You have always come to our aid every year unsolicited,” he said.
