Keystone Bank Partners to Empower Persons with Disabilities

Keystone Bank, in collaboration with the Akwa Ibom State Government and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, launched an initiative aimed at empowering persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. The program, which spans three days, focuses on distributing wheelchairs and walking aids to PWDs and includes training for local clinicians and artisans to enhance their skills in assembling, fitting, repairing, and maintaining these mobility aids.

Izor Lami Bamawo, Group Head of Corporate Communications at Keystone Bank, reaffirmed the bank's commitment to creating lasting social impact through this initiative. Princess Emem Ibanga, the Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs in Akwa Ibom State, described the program as a significant milestone in advancing the mobility and dignity of PWDs.

The initiative also aims to strengthen local capacity to provide sustainable support services. Elder Enefiok Tom Ntem represented the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, emphasizing the church's commitment to humanitarian service.
