LAPO Microfinance Bank Limited, Nigeria’s leading Microfinance Bank, has enforced a temporary suspension of its weekly and monthly clients’ Union Meetings across the country.
This disclosure was contained in a statement issued by Oluremi Akande, the bank’s head of communications, on Tuesday, 24th of March, 2020.
The statement read in part: “Given the intense nature of our interactions with our Clients, the suspension of Union Meetings is a deliberate step to immediately achieve social distancing and curtail the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Importantly, this measure will guarantee the protection of the lives of our Clients, Staff and Family; and by extension the communities we serve”.
He further noted that “LAPO Microfinance Bank will continue to deploy mass enlightenment campaigns to educate members of the public, thereby, minimizing the level of infection and by implication enabling the systemic defeat of COVID-19 in our country”.
LAPO Microfinance Bank remains committed to the fight against the Coronavirus pandemic in Nigeria.
