As we move forward under new ownership, our focus remains unchanged: delivering exceptional value to stakeholders, deepening market leadership, and building a sustainable institution for the future.”
While thanking the bank’s customers, Olorode assured that the bank will remain focused on creating long-term value for clients and stakeholders. “The Bank remains fully operational, and all client relationships, services, and leadership structures continue uninterrupted.
We thank our stakeholders for their continued trust and look forward to the next chapter of growth.”
