The chief executive of the upward moving lender made this known when he commissioned an interrogation room donated to the NPF at Alagbon, Ikoyi, Lagos.

The bank said the donation is part of the bank’s plan to ensure the protection of lives and property around Ikoyi and environs.

The Wigwe-led bank also complemented the well-equipped facility with a 250 KVA generator, donated to the Force to help improve officers’ working conditions and surrounding neighborhood.

Represented by the the Group Head, Enterprise Business Resources, Mac Atom, Wigwe said the bank has made a bold statement about its commitment to corporate social responsibility.

He said similar state-of the-art facilities have been donated to various police formations across the country, promising to do more as part of its responsibility to assist security agencies in making sure the country is safe.

“Partnerships and social investment remains a critical part of Access Bank’s sustainability drive.

In our bid to offer more than banking and create value for various government agencies, we have donated state of the art interrogation and observation rooms to select divisions of the Nigerian Police Force across the country, starting with Lagos.

We thank the NPF for all they do, especially for seeing to it that all our customers remain protected and secure,” he said.

The Assistant Inspector General in charge of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex, Alagbon, Ikoyi, Murtala Mani, in appreciation urged other players in the business community to emulate Access Bank by assisting the police to rein in crime in the country.

For years Access bank has provided support across all the sectors as part of its corporate social responsibility.
