FirstBank Mourns Staff, Late Abdullahi Lawal

FirstBank grieves over the death of late Abdullahi Lawal who was a staff at the Kano Main Branch. It was reported that late Abdullahi Lawal died of Coronavirus related complications.

The Group Head, Marketing & Corporate Communications, Mrs Folake Ani-Mumuney, in a statement made available to TheNigerialawyer stated that their thoughts and prayers are with Lawal’s family at this time as they do all that is necessary to support them.

According to her “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 ask that all necessary courtesies be extended to the family so they can grieve privately.

“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.”
