Chartered Bank Pledges to Support Govt
Ogun
Managing Director of Chartered Bank, Mr. Moses Adedoyin has pledged the bank's support for Ogun State government in financing its developmental projects.
Speaking during a courtesy visit to the state Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, Adedoyin said the decision of the bank to open a branch at Abeokuta was informed by its confidence in the ability of government to harness the state's rich human and material resources for the growth and development of the state.
Adedoyin added that the last state economic summit had exposed him to the economic potentials that abound in the state, noting that the emergence of Daniel as governor has made the state more investor-friendly because the governor was blending his private sector background with public administration. He called on the government and people of the state to patronise the bank to justify its decision to open the Abeokuta branch and to also enable them benefit from the excellent services which the bank is noted for.
Responding, Daniel said Chartered Bank is one of those banks he admired, having followed its track record over the years, stressing that the state government had mapped out a number of developmental projects which the bank would find attractive and assured the bank of the state government's patronage.
The visit to Daniel was part of activities to mark the opening of the new branch at Isale Ake, Abeokuta. The bank's management team also included Mr. Remi Kolarinwa, Executive Director and Yemi Olateru-Olagbegi, General Manager, Public Sector Group. Others were Bimbo Ashiru, Regional Co-ordinator Lagos Mainland, Kunle Fatokun, Public Sector (West) and Wole Akinleye, Regional Co-ordinator (West).
The new branch brings to 43 the number of the bank's branches nationwide, which is part of the bank's network expansion programme. More branches are expected to join the network before the end of the current financial year. All the bank's branches are online, providing real time services through the use of state-of-the-art banking technology.
