were designed to reward excellence and customers’ commitment towards
the growth of the real sector, adding that the bank’s staff were also rewarded for aiding the realization of the bank’s goals and objectives.

the financial institution’s commitment towards industrialising the nation’s real sector.

that has worked to deliver value. We are also recognizing our customers that have impact in 2015 in their sectors”, Olaoluwa added.

Specifically, Mouka Limited was recognised as this year’s best large enterprise directorate customer in loan repayment. Innoson Technical and Industrial manufacturing was recognized as the best large enterprise directorate customer in employment generation, while Kam
Industries Nigeria Limited emerged this year’s best large enterprise directorate customer with real sector impact.
