“Just like you see in FirstBank that has sponsored this event consistently for 58-years.

“Consistency to me is the keyword, so we must give credit to FirstBank for being consistent and for being there for 58-years,” Eben-spiff said.

FirstBank Chief Executive Officer, Dr Adesola Adeduntan, represented by Olusegun Alebiosu, the bank’s Chief Risk Officer, while congratulating the winners, said the bank would not relent in its social responsibilities.
