The Federal Nigeria Society for the Blind (FNSB) has commended First City Monument Bank (FCMB) for supporting the visually impaired community in Nigeria. Through financial donations and essential supplies, FCMB has strengthened programmes at FNSB, Pacelli School for the Blind, Bethesda Home for the Blind, and Farmcraft Centre for the Blind, making a tangible difference in the lives of those it serves.

Arit Tunde-Imoyo, Chairman of the FNSB Executive Council, expressed profound gratitude for FCMB's sustained partnership. "FCMB has been more than a supporter; it has been a true partner. Its generosity has helped sustain our mission of empowering visually impaired individuals to lead independent lives," she said.

Diran Olojo, Divisional Head of Corporate Affairs at FCMB, reaffirmed the bank's commitment to fostering inclusivity. "Everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of ability. Our increased support this year reflects our dedication to empowering the visually impaired community," he stated.

Olojo also emphasized the need to challenge societal stereotypes about disabilities. "The visually impaired are just as capable of success as anyone else. The real barriers are not their limitations but the misconceptions and lack of support they face. At FCMB, we are committed to breaking these barriers by providing resources that enable them to pursue their ambitions and lead fulfilling lives."
