Children Shine at 2026 Access Bank/UNICEF Polo Tournament

The 2026 Access Bank/UNICEF Charity Shield Polo Tournament took place at the Fifth Chukker Polo Country Club in Kaduna, focusing on children's cultural performances, including drama and music, to promote awareness against child abuse. Mr. Ifeyinwa Osim, Chairman of Access Bank PLC, expressed delight in the children's outstanding performances and reaffirmed the bank's commitment to its charity platform, which aims to create opportunities for underprivileged children through education.

During the event, Osim noted that Access Bank's partnership with Fifth Chukker has significantly improved educational conditions by funding the construction of classroom blocks in Kaduna, totaling 120 classrooms delivered through the initiative. The program continues to have a tangible impact on educational outcomes across beneficiary communities.

Additionally, the partnership supports UNICEF's educational intervention efforts, aiming to foster long-term development and empower children through vocational training and other programs.
