In her remarks, the Vice Chairman of Ilaje Local Government Area, Mrs. Olurantimi Esejuwon, praised Fidelity Bank for its generosity, particularly towards the aged and people living with disabilities.

“This gesture by Fidelity Bank is a lifeline for many in our communities who are struggling with basic needs. It shows that the bank truly cares about people’s welfare beyond banking services, and we are deeply grateful for their support,” Esejuwon said.
