As part of our continued drive to promote education and active learning experience amongst students, the Development Bank of Nigeria recently visited Junior Secondary School Durumi, Abuja, where students were engaged and enlightened on the importance of Digital Literacy, Sustainable Development Goals, Sustainability, etc.
In furtherance of this commitment, DBN also donated learning materials in addition to the payment of WAEC Examination Fees for the entire Junior Secondary Students of the School.
OBSERVERSTIMES recall that Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) also donated relief materials to economically challenged individuals and widows in rural communities of Keana, Madagalli and Bakassi communities in Nasarawa, Adamawa and Cross River State, respectively.
The initiative, the bank said, is intended to alleviate the challenges being faced by the affected communities, support the cause of the displaced persons, and rehabilitate victims of insurgency.
Speaking on the donation, Tony Okpanachi, DBN managing director, said the posture of the bank, which is anchored on giving back to the society it operates, motivated it to present the donations as part of its corporate social responsibility.
“Beyond our mandate of providing access to finance to MSMES to stimulate economic growth, the Bank decided to come together to extend a helping hand to these beneficiaries by providing relief materials to the economically challenged in Keana – Nasarawa, Madagali – Adamawa, and Bakassi in Cross River State,” he said.
