Against COVID-19 (CACOVID) to rapidly expand the health facilities; especially
Testing, Isolation, treatment and the provision of Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
facilities pivotal to controlling the spread and importantly, treating individuals
diagnosed with COVID- 19. This is in addition to the Bank's drive to move one
million children to e-learning, together with an early partner - Roducate - as
recommended by the Ministry of Education, Lagos State
In line with the 14-day stay home directive for
Lagos, Ogun and FCT Abuja in the speech by President Muhammadu Buhari, the Bank
has also reiterated its preparedness to provide essential Banking services
through its alternative channels to its customers and the public at large which
is in line with its robust Business Continuity Plan.
Updating on the Bank's efforts; the Bank's CEO,
Dr. Adesola Adeduntan, said "we promise to continue to look at all areas of
intervention where our business infrastructure, reach, digital platforms and
other natural strengths lie and can be deployed to further support all efforts
for Nigerians; young and old alike.
To that end, we will continue to communicate
ways in which we can do more together.
We thank our community of friends, customers
and other stakeholders who have continued to send us ideas and initiatives and
are gladdened at the solidarity we see as Nigerians come together to tackle
this under one umbrella.
Please stay safe and let's work together to
flatten the curve", he concluded.
