“The health walk showcases the bank’s commitment to community investment and project financing. Keystone was the only bank in Nigeria willing to partner with the Orange Island project at the initial stage after recognising the viability of their vision. And today we remain their sole bankers, catering to all their needs.
“Sponsoring the Orange Island Walk is in line with our vision to promote a healthier nation as a whole and we also expect that the walk would provide opportunities for non-formal networking for all participants.
“We look forward to seeing you there and starting this New Year on a healthy note,” Ohiwerei concluded.
Keystone Bank is a technology and service-driven commercial bank offering convenient and reliable solutions to its customers.
