“We are committed to extending our CSR activities in support of the Federal Government’s efforts to improve the lives of individuals and organisations.
“The Fidelity Food Bank is one way we are addressing the critical issue of food insecurity and hunger in our society.
“This initiative was conceptualised over a year ago and is aimed at tackling hunger and providing relief to vulnerable groups across the 36 states of Nigeria,” she said.
