FirstBank looses staff, assures staff, customers and host communities of commitment to protection

FirstBank,  the premier Bank in West Africa and the leading financial inclusion services provider in Nigeria for over 125 years, has announced the passing on of AbdullahiLawal who, until his death, worked at the bank’s Kano Main Branch.

In a statement made available to OpenLife and   signed by FolakeAni-Mumuney,  Group Head, Marketing & Corporate Communications, the bank stated that its

thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time as it would  do all that is necessary to support them. The statement reads  

“As a responsible corporate organization, FirstBank has been at the fore-front of the concerted efforts against the coronavirus pandemic alongside others. 

We have robust protocols in place including practicing social distancing, frequently disinfecting our buildings and locations even whilst ensuring services are available through our alternative channels such as our ATMs and other digital platforms. 

We have immediately therefore, shut down access to the premises as we disinfect the entire location and ask all staff and customers who may have been in contact with our late colleague to follow the NCDC guidelines and self-isolate. We will, as a matter of course, extend all possible support to staff and customers at this difficult time.

Our thoughts are with the family he left behind and indeed with the wider FirstBank family who mourn this loss deeply at this time.   

We remain committed to protecting the health and safety of all staff, customers and host communities, as together the fight against coronavirus will be won.”
