Managing Director/Chief Executive, First Bank Nigeria Limited, Olusegun Alebiosu, has reiterated the bank’s commitment to nation building and driving transformative partnerships to achieve this goal.
Speaking during a courtesy visit to the Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, by the bank’s management team, Alebiosu said that First Bank is ready to partner with the Lagos State Government on infrastructural development.
He stated: “Power infrastructure is important especially because Lagos State is a place where people admire and emulate. We look forward to the framework that the Lagos State Government will set up, in addition to the many private investors, who will create massive power projects to reduce the cost of production.
“There are many special projects the Lagos State Government is doing, and FirstBank will continue to support the Lagos State Government to develop these projects.
We can also achieve more employment opportunities, tax revenue generation, amongst others. We look forward to Lagos State benefitting from these projects, and the entire Nigeria.” he concluded.
Sanwo-Olu, whilst congratulating Alebiosu on his new appointment as Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, mentioned the need to create value for shareholders and other stakeholders of the bank.
The Governor said his administration would sustain deep mutually beneficial relationships with financial institutions, particularly the First Bank of Nigeria Limited, to meet the needs and yearnings of the citizens of Lagos.
These relationships will enhance and improve the quality of life for Lagos residents, as well as improve the socio-economic situation in the country.
