This is in addition to the Bank\u2019s drive to move one million children to e-learning, together with an early partner \u2013 Roducate – as recommended by the Ministry of Education, Lagos State<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Updating on the Bank\u2019s efforts; the Bank\u2019s CEO, Dr. Adesola Adeduntan, said \u201cwe 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.<\/p>

To that end, we will continue to communicate ways in which we can do more together.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Please stay safe and let\u2019s work together to flatten the curve\u201d, he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
