The Chartered Institute Of Bankers Of Nigeria (CIBN) is rapidly advancing to a continental and global organisation that vows to promote banking and finance professionals that can be trusted at all levels.
It is gratifying to write this piece about CIBN especially at present when i found the organisation as straight forward, Promising and with competent leaders that can be proud of in the Banking and finance sector.
I am pleased to be one of the people that witnessed the foundation laying ceremony for the construction of an ultra-modern Bankers Hall at the school of management studies Kano eight months ago, and at the same time, i was opportuned to witnessed the commissioning ceremoney that was held Monday, 19th December 2022 with all the relevant personalities in attendance.
The commissioning of the Banker’s Hall has proven that CIBN is one of the most formidable institute that sticks to it’s promises which is an indication that the leaders across the Six Geo- Political zones are working collectively to actualize all what they planned to offer as corporate services to human endeavor.
I can remember what the Kano CIBN zonal chairman Malam Aliyu Wada Nas told me during the foundation laying ceremony of the Bankers Hall, that ” by the special grace of God, the Banker’s Hall would be constructed and commissioned immediately after completion, and I assure you that our institute is working collectively to actualize all what we intends to do in order to promote Banking and finance profession”.
I wish to commend the CIBN under the stewardship of Dr. Ken Opara and his national executives, and at the same time thanked the Kano zonal chairman Malam Aliyu Wada Nas and his dedicated Media Icon Mr. Vinatius Okpareke Kasarachi, who were always ready to answer our questions on the issues relates to the construction of Banker’s Hall at Kano state polytechnic.
I am also happy that the beneficiaries, of the project who are the students reading Banking and finance have reassured the CIBN that the edifice would be used for the porposes of its construction especially when it contains all the required modern learning materials that can be needed to get knowledge.
Similarly, i am optimistic that the Kano Poly Rector, Associate Professor Kabiru Bello Dungurawa would continue to provide conducive learning atmosphere at the schools under his mandate through his Seven Points agenda which we have seen it as a reality since inception.
Finally, wish to recognise the supports being rendered by Malam Auwal Isma’il Bagwai who always supports us whenever we needs more details about the relashionships between Kano state Polytechnic and media organisations.
