  • FirstBank assures customers of quality service

    FirstBank of Nigeria Limited (FirstBank) has assured its customers of enhanced services across its networks nationwide. In a customers’ forum held in Lagos, the bank had highlighted its new products and services, including e-business services, alternative channels, and the various transformational initiatives of the Bank over the past one year.

    Speaking at the forum, FirstBank’s Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Bisi Onasanya said as a pan Nigerian financial institution, the lender recognizes the need for periodic interaction with its customers to foster efficient service delivery. “We believe every business is as strong as the value it places on its customers. We are very passionate about our customers and see this forum as a platform to receive feedback from our customers and further position the Bank to delight our customers and partner with them on sundry financial advisory services and business growth initiatives,” he said.

    Onasanya said the bank had since deployed an operating model that realigned its market facing business units from a geographic focus to a customer segmented approach to deepen its understanding of each customer segment.

  • We’re better prepared to handle floods, Lagos assures

    Lagos State has appealed to residents not to panic over persistent downpour and the attendant flooding because measures have been put in place to manage such situations.

    Speaking with journalists shortly after the September edition of the sanitation exercise yesterday, the Head of Service, Mr. Adesegun Ogunlewe, said Lagos will not experience the devastating floods recorded in other parts of the nation.

    Ogunlewe, who led the monitoring team, said government had cleared many of the drainage channels, adding that expansion of canals is ongoing to tackle the challenges of flooding.

    According to him: “We are well prepared and the drains this year have been cleared and we have also warned that all those living close to the canals evacuate those areas for the government to have easy access. We will work to ensure that that flooding is reduced to barest minimum.”
