First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has rewarded a young girl by name Dele with the sum of N1 million, and also awarded her scholarship to university level after she was spotted doing her homework with the bank’s ATM lights along Yaba road in Ondo State.

A few days ago, a Twitter user identified as Bada Maruf Mathew shared a photo of a young girl he met at FCMB, using the light from the Bank’s ATM for her school work.

FCMB got hold of the viral photo and were attracted to the girl because of her act of determination and requested that the little girl should be located.

“We are inspired by Dele’s determination to study. It’s great our ATM Gallery could light her books for the evening, but we would love to do more to support. Can you please help us find Dele? Please RT until it gets to someone who knows her,” the bank wrote.
