Bank of Industry (BoI) has indicated its resolve to partner with the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu to assist women, youth and children.

This was disclosed, yesterday, during a visit by BoI’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Olukayode Pitan, and Executive Director (BoI Micro Enterprises), Mabel Ndagi, to the First Lady.

Pitan noted that BoI has a database of over 2.5 million people across the 36 states of the federation and is ready to partner with the First Lady to achieve her dreams of empowering people.

He expressed optimism that the collaboration would ameliorate hardship faced by women in agriculture, health, social investment, education and economic empowerment, especially at the grassroots tanked BoI for its willingness to share in the RHI vision.

She said she was particularly gladdened by the fact that a reputable bank with Triple-A rating was ready to come on board with the initiative.

The First Lady noted that the focus of RHI is vulnerable women who do not have collaterals for start-up loans; hence RHI would look to the bank for help in the area.

Tinubu further expressed optimism of a fruitful partnership between RHI and BoI.
In a goodwill gesture, Pitan presented a copy of BoI’s Annual General Report to the First Lady.
