Mr Taiwo Joda, the Managing Director of Accion Microfinance Bank, has promised that the bank would provide cheaper funds in Aba to help residents grow their businesses.
Joda made the promise at the new branch office of the bank located on No. 5, Powerline street by Ariaria Market in Aba during the opening of the bank’s first branch in Abia State.
He said that the bank would partner Abia State Government to reduce poverty and boost the state’s economy.
“We want to help micro-entrepreneurs to develop and grow their businesses so that they could also act as catalysts for economic development in Abia,” he said.
Joda said that after the new branch in Aba, the bank would move to open branches in Delta and Edo States as part of its national expansion programme.
Mr Onyema Abarikwu, the Permanent Secretary in the state Ministry of Trade and Investment, lauded the foresight of the bank in opening its first branch within the ever-busy Ariaria Market.
Abarikwu, represented by Mrs Chinyere Nwosu, the Head, Micro, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises Department in the ministry, said the bank’s presence would help to build Aba as a business hub.
He promised that with clear vision, the bank would surpass the performance of its competitors in the state and urged it assist residents by easing their problem of access to finance.
Mr Andy Obasi, the President of Aba Chamber of Commerce, thanked the bank for coming to the state and for berthing in Aba first, stressing that it was a good thing for businesses in the area.
He, however, urged the bank to fulfill its promises and also to reduce its lending conditions to ensure it reaped the best that Aba businesses could offer.
Obasi promised, on behalf of the chamber, to partner the bank, but urged it to exceed people’s expectations if it expected “good business from Aba business people”.
His Royal Majesty, Eze Isaac Ikonne, welcomed the bank and prayed for it to have profitable transactions as it served the financial needs of Aba businesses.
Ikonne, while cutting the tape to declare the bank branch open, urged the people to do business with the bank, stressing that the bank was a good bank to do business with.
