Acknowledging Fidelity Bank Plc’s steadfast dedication to bolstering bilateral trade and economic ties between Houston, Texas, and Nigeria, the City of Houston has officially marked October 25 as “Fidelity International Trade and Creative Connect Day.”
Houston’s Mayor Sylvester Turner formally announced this special designation in a statement released from Houston, Texas, on October 26, 2023.
The proclamation reads, “The Fidelity International Trade and Creative Connect summit pledged to foster bilateral trade and economic development between the city of Houston and Nigeria. The City of Houston applauds Fidelity Bank Nigeria for their commitment to advancing international trade. Therefore, I, Sylvester Turner, Mayor of the City of Houston, hereby proclaim October 25, 2023, as Fidelity International Trade and Creative Connect Day.”
Fidelity Bank hosted the second edition of its international non-oil trade expo, named FITCC Houston, on October 24 and 25, 2023, in Houston, Texas, United States.
The event showcased exhibitions from over 160 businesses, along with various panel discussions and networking sessions, all geared towards boosting the number of Nigerian businesses exporting to the U.S. market. It also aimed to help exporters enhance product quality, meet global standards, and achieve other vital objectives.
During her opening remarks at FITCC Houston, Mrs. Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, the MD/CEO of Fidelity Bank, expressed gratitude for the warm reception from the Houston community and residents of Nigerian descent.
She explained the choice of Houston for this year’s FITCC, stating, “Quite often, we are asked why we choose to host this year’s FITCC in Houston. Our response has revolved around the economic opportunities provided by its demographic profile and ethnic diversity as well as its strategic location which makes the City the ideal destination for international trade and a transit point to other regional markets in the South of the United States.”
As one of Nigeria’s top-ranking banks, Fidelity Bank stands as a fully-fledged customer-oriented commercial bank, serving over 8 million customers through its 251 business offices in Nigeria and the United Kingdom, as well as through digital banking channels.
