Fidelity  Bank’s Private Banking division has organised an exclusive advisory forum for customers at The Café Private Banking Suite, Ikoyi.

The aim was to provide sufficient information and guidance for select clients who wish to have their children study abroad.

The Divisional Head, Private Banking, Fidelity Bank Plc, Chioma Nwankwo in her opening remark noted that studying abroad is becoming more popular among Nigerian students as the country itself continues to pursue integration into the international landscape.
