Not until now has Nigeria witnessed elevation en mass in the banking sector or any sector apart from the government owned organizations, but today, Fidelity bank has beating every employer in Nigeria to it.

Whilst congratulating the beneficiaries, he urged staff members to redouble their efforts towards achieving better financial results in 2017, adding that “our aim is to remain an employer of first choice, and to achieve this we will continuously motivate our people”.
