ABIA STATE GOVERNMENT APPROVES LAND FOR BANKERS TRAINING INSTITUTE
In a significant move to boost the banking sector in Abia State, Governor Dr. Alex Otti has approved the allocation of land for the establishment of a Bankers Training Institute. The approval was given during a working visit by the Executives of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) to the Governor's country home in Umuehim Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South LGA on Tuesday, July 23rd.
The Governor emphasized the importance of creating an enabling environment to attract and retain young talented individuals in the state, addressing the 'JAPA' syndrome, a term used to describe the migration of Nigerians to foreign lands in search of better opportunities. He stressed the need for leaders to develop policies and programs that offer comparable opportunities to those available abroad.
The CIBN Executives, led by Public Relations Officer Mr. Kelechi Adiele, commended Governor Otti for his achievements in office, including improved road infrastructure and security architecture, which have enhanced banking activities and the overall economy of the state. They also praised his efforts in employment generation and economic empowerment programs, which have positively impacted the banking sector.
The approved land will be used to build a secretariat for the CIBN, and the Governor encouraged the institute to subscribe to the state's planned smart cities project, which will feature low-cost housing estates and sophisticated amenities.
The meeting was attended by top officials from the CIBN, the Central Bank of Nigeria, and the Abia State Government.
