Jibrin assured the state government that the bank would be an active partner in the fight against the virus by providing more possible assistance. “Although the donation of N5 million by the bank could be described as a token, it would aid ongoing efforts by the state government in containing the Covid-19 scourge,” he stated.
On his part, Argungu thanked Fidelity Bank for the invaluable gesture, on behalf of Governor Atiku Bagudu and Kebbi state government. He said all donations received from various sources had been handed over to the state taskforce on Covid-19.
