In gratitude for their support in 2024, leading financial institution, Fidelity Bank Plc, recently hosted loyal customers to a night of entertainment, titillating cuisine, and glamour.
Themed “Winning Together,” the bank’s Customer Appreciation Party was held at the Fidelity Oniru Grounds in Lekki, Lagos, on Saturday, 7 December 2024, and had in attendance captains of industry, business leaders, celebrities, politicians, as well as staff of the bank from across the country.
Giving her remarks at the event, the Chief Host and Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Fidelity Bank Plc, Dr Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, said that the event was put together to appreciate customers’ support in the year, especially for the bank’s oversubscribed Combined Offer exercise.
“I want to say a huge thank you to our customers for being there for us in 2024. It came through during our recapitalisation exercise if I was ever in doubt about their loyalty. We were the first to come out, and I can tell you that I was personally amazed by the loyalty and contribution of our customers to the combined offer exercise,” explained an elated Onyeali-Ikpe.
She further divulged, “Our customers told us quite clearly that they believe in Fidelity Bank. They came out strong for us and this helped us to surpass our target by over 200% in the combined offer exercise.”
