Inaugurating the eight-member board, a Deputy Minister of Finance, Mr Charles Adu Boahene, asked the board to align its decisions with the vision of the bank and take bold decisions to propel the bank’s growth.
He said the NIB was set up to primarily spearhead the industrialisation of the country about 53 years ago.
Mr Adu Boahene, therefore, urged the new board to work assiduously and bring their experience and expertise to bear on the growth of the NIB so as to achieve the government’s agenda of financial intermediation and support for key strategic industries so that the pace of industrialisation in the country could be quickened and thereby create employment for the teeming youth.
President lauded
For his part, Togbe Afede lauded President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for the trust reposed in them by nominating them to serve on the board.
He promised that the members would work in the best interest of the bank by bringing their varied experiences and expertise to bear on their strategy and decisions to move the bank forward.
He further promised that the board would be guided by the principles of absolute commitment and honesty in the discharge of their duties.
Togbe Afede also promised to put the NIB on the path to support the growth of industries in the country and create jobs, and thereby bring happiness to the citizenry as a whole.
Other members of the board are Dr John Kweku Asamoah (Managing Director), Mr Michael Ayesu, Mr Dennis Adjei Dwomoh, Mrs Lynn Allotey Gadzekpo, Mr Ken Kanyagui, Mr Roland O. Akosah and Mr Etse Gadegbeku.
