Mr. Lyndon Balkran, Senior Manager – Market Development, Intelligence and Promotions (Ag.), commended the students for their achievements and reaffirmed the Bank’s long-standing commitment to investing in education and youth development. He noted that this year, the Retail Management Team expanded the programme, doubling the number of awardees from eight to sixteen. “At First Citizens, we believe that empowering our youth through recognition and reward helps build a stronger, more financially confident generation,” said Mr. Balkran.
Parents and awardees expressed their gratitude during the ceremony, which served as both a celebration and an inspiration for continued academic excellence.
