Handing over the ambulance built with life support equipment valued at over N10 million, to the Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, Executive Director [South] of First Bank, Mr. Alex Otti, explained that the gesture was part of the bank's effort to ensure the success of the exercise.
