Lotus bank donates gift items for Hajj

Nigeria’s leading ethical Non-Interest Bank, LOTUS Bank has donated no fewer than 18,500 gift items to intending pilgrims heading to Mecca as part of its commitment to supporting the members of the Muslim community who will be undertaking the journey to the holy land later this month.

In collaboration with the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), LOTUS Bank delivered the gift items after initially supporting the National Hajj Conference, a two-day intensive workshop held in Abuja FCT, aimed at enhancing the pilgrimage experience for Nigerian Muslims, a statement by the Bank has said.

Commenting on the initiative, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of LOTUS Bank, Kafilat Araoye commended the Hajj Commission for the opportunity to collaborate with them in facilitating this year’s pilgrimage, adding “that the donations of the gift items indicates the Bank’s dedication to serving the interest of the community”.
