First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has announced its support for a service project by the Rotary Club of Lagos, District 9112, to empower over 200 widows through micro-credit and skills acquisition. This initiative underscores FCMB\u2019s commitment to promoting women\u2019s empowerment and financial inclusion.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made during the installation ceremony of Adetunji Lamidi as the 64th president of the Rotary Club of Lagos. The event, held recently in Lagos, highlighted the club\u2019s ongoing efforts to expand its community impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goals for the year are audacious, yet achievable,\u201d said Lamidi. \u201cWe plan to commission a secondary school in Iboku Aro village, support over 200 children, empower 200 widows, and donate five incubators to general hospitals in Lagos. We\u2019ve already donated infant incubators to Island Maternity as our first project for the year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lamidi also announced plans to increase the club\u2019s micro-credit fund to \u20a620 million to support five markets across Lagos. \u201cWe currently support the markets in Gbagada and Oke-Arin, and we aim to expand to five other communities. Additionally, we will build five bore-hole projects and provide annual scholarships for 20 university students across Lagos,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
