“Furthermore, the bank’s digital services are top-of-the-range and align with our transformative processes. We believe our staff deserve the best in banking services.”
Ogbuku pledged support for the bank’s efforts to provide top-notch services to NDDC staff, noting: “We expect the bank to support our staff and contractors.
This is important because we want Niger Deltans to be active participants in the development of the region. When the bank supports our contractors in executing projects, they will contribute to the region’s development.”
The NDDC boss stressed the importance of working with development partners to harness the economic potential in the Niger Delta and bring about economic growth.
