It was a night of fine dining and entertainment as Stanbic IBTC Holdings, a member of Standard Bank Group, last Wednesday, hosted guests to the end of year dinner in appreciation of the company’s esteemed corporate and personal clientele. The well attended event, which held at the Eko Hotels and Suites Victoria Island, was also used to launch the company’s signature corporate social investment (CSI) initiative tagged, ‘Out for a Limb’. The official unveiling of the symbol was performed by Chairman of Stanbic IBTC, Mr. Atedo Peterside, assisted by Mrs. Sola David-Borha, the CE, and Mr. Alasdair Peach of Reckitt Benckiser. Stanbic IBTC used the platform to reiterate its commitment to championing the cause of providing prosthetic limbs to disadvantaged children who suffer limb loss. The financial institution also pledged to take care of the educational needs of beneficiaries of the CSI initiative who are underprivileged children. According to Mr. Atedo Peterside, the initiative is in line with Stanbic IBTC’s commitment to value-driven CSI, designed for sustainability, positive impact and moving businesses, communities and individuals forward, in line with its brand promise. “Stanbic IBTC’s CSI is focused on three key areas of human life: health, education, and economic empowerment.” The night was spiced with a dance drama by a performing arts group, literally telling Nigeria’s story from independence to date through dance.
