First Lady Tasks Financial Brands

Chris Olisa-

The first lady of Lagos state, Mrs. Abimbola Fashola, last week, tasked Nigerian banks to add more weight in their corporate social responsibility initiatives by going all out to support programmes possessing social values that will rub off positively on the family.  She made the call during a curtsey visit by the Group Managing Director of Skye bank, Akinsola Akinfemiwa, and winner of the just concluded Celebrity Takes Two sponsored by the bank, Yemi Black.
“We must encourage the promotion of good programmes such as Celebrity Takes Two that foster social relationships, religious and ethnic tolerance. I therefore urge banks in the country to do more of what has been done by Skye bank as this will not only bring delight to the viewers of the programmes they sponsor, but also make them a brand to be reckoned with,” she said.
The Group Managing Director of Skye bank, Mr. Akinsola Akinmuyiwa, on his part, said that “Skye bank is proud to have associated itself with this just concluded programme, which has impacted positively on families. We promise Nigerians that only the best will come from us.”
Mr. Akinmuyiwa also revealed that Skye Bank has other plans in the pipeline that will blow the minds of soap opera viewers but chose not to disclose the details yet.
