“We see education as not only a means of knowledge transfer, but as a transformative force – a bridge to opportunity,” said Dr. Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Fidelity Bank. “Beyond helping them improve their academic performance, we want to inspire young minds to see that innovation and resilience can light the path to a better future.”
The solar-powered bags are designed to enable children to study safely at night, without relying on hazardous candles or kerosene lamps. This initiative is part of the bank’s broader investment in education, which includes the SWEETA School Fees Support Initiative, Read2Lead Writing Competition, Back-to-School Loans, and the Green Energy Financing Program.
The First Lady of Ogun State, Mrs. Bamidele Abiodun, praised the initiative, saying, “This initiative directly enhances learning for children in communities with limited electricity. It’s a brilliant example of how simple, practical innovations can drive profound change – keeping children in school and helping them thrive.” She also noted its alignment with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4, promoting inclusive and equitable quality education for all.
The “Lighting Young Minds” initiative reflects Fidelity Bank’s mission to empower Nigeria’s future generations through inclusive, sustainable, and forward-thinking educational solutions. By bridging opportunity gaps, the bank remains committed to creating a brighter future for children across the country.
