Wema Bank Plc at the celebration of its 78th anniversary on Tuesday restated commitment to become a tier-1 bank in Nigeria.
According to the new Managing Director of the Bank, Moruf Oseni, his goal for the bank is to get it into the tier-1 category of banks in Nigeria.
Oseni stated thus:
“The aim, the prayer and I have committed this to God, is to take this bank to great heights. This bank must go back to tier one. Once that is done, for me, God has given me what I wanted for Wema Bank.
“That is all I ask for. I can’t do it alone. There is no leadership without followership. You (staff members) must work with me on this journey. So please, let’s walk that journey together.”
“I want to thank core investors, minority investors for their support over the decades. Second, I will like to thank you guys; staff of Wema Bank, for all your work, and for believing in leadership. I know it is not an easy job but you guys always deliver.
“I want to thank our customers, they have been with us through thick and thin, over the decades. Because this is 78, we remember those who have done this job before us. We are standing on their collective efforts; past chairmen, past MDs, past staff of Wema Bank.”
“I think as a human being, every day you live, you must give thanks. For an institution, a banking institution that has lasted for 78 years where many of its peers have disappeared, I think it behoves us to celebrate every day and every year.
