According to The Punch, FirstBank has reopened a renovated Basketball & Games Arena at the Nigerian Army 9 Brigade Cantonment in Ikeja, Lagos, following a facelift.
The report says the facility was inaugurated with senior military participation and positions the upgrade as part of sports development and community engagement.
Bank-funded sports infrastructure typically falls under CSR, with brands seeking long-term visibility and youth engagement outcomes.
Analysis/Echotitbits take: CSR projects matter most when they’re sustained—equipment, coaching programmes, and open access rules. Watch for how the facility is managed, who can use it, and whether it becomes a hub for grassroots leagues.
