Access Bank Initiates Construction of 60 Classrooms in Kaduna to Enhance Education Access

Access Bank PLC has launched a new project aimed at improving education in Kaduna, starting with the construction of 60 classrooms in Maraban Jos. The initiative was announced during the 2024 Access Bank Charity Polo Tournament, reinforcing the bank's commitment to community development.

Led by Roosevelt Ogbonna, Managing Director/CEO of Access Bank Group, the project seeks to address the educational deficit in Nigeria, especially in the northern region where millions of children are out of school. Ogbonna emphasized the importance of providing opportunities for every child to receive quality education and pursue their dreams.

The new classrooms, once completed, will support the Access Bank Fifth Chukker School and accommodate more students, contributing to a conducive learning environment. This initiative is part of Access Bank's broader mission to promote prosperity across Africa through sustainable investments in education.

Uba Sani, . Governor of Kaduna State, praised Access Bank, Fifth Chukker, and UNICEF for their collaborative efforts in advancing education. He expressed Kaduna's commitment to supporting initiatives aimed at reducing the number of out-of-school children and enhancing educational outcomes in the state.

Access Bank's Charity Polo Tournament not only focuses on Nigeria but also supports educational initiatives in South Africa through donations to the Nelson Mandela Foundation Children's Fund. This underscores the bank's comprehensive approach to corporate social responsibility, aiming to create a brighter future for African children through strategic partnerships and impactful projects.
