Northern sector is very important to our business-CBG MD

The Managing Director of Consolidated Bank Ghana Ltd, Mr. Daniel Wilson Addo, has said the Northern sector is very important to the bank and therefore the bank cannot take for granted the north’s contribution to the growth of its business. He explained that, the North is one of the few regions that has abundant natural resources and as a bank, CBG is seeking to partner its customers to explore the opportunity, by  providing safe, secure and differentiated banking services.
Mr. Addo was speaking in Tamale when he and his team paid a working visit to the new overlord of Dagbon, Ya Naa Abubakari Mahama II at Naa Gbewaa Palace, Yendi, as part of the bank’s policy of engaging stakeholders on CBG’s vision and commitment to aid national development.
Addressing the CBG Team led by the Managing Director (MD), Daniel Wilson Addo, the King of Dagbon commended the bank for paying a courtesy call on him and the Dagbon Kingdom. He said his doors are open and his Majesty’s prayers will follow CBG, to enable the bank achieve its mission and vision.
“I appreciate you for showing respect to me and the people of Dagbon with your noble visit. I pledge to support the bank fully both physically and spiritually” he said.
Ya Naa Abubakari Mahama II expressed the North’s recognition of CBG’s effort to deliver differentiated services to the sector and pledged his support for Consolidated Bank Ghana’s (CBG) demonstration of commitment to build trust and providing seamless banking services to its customers since inception.
Mr. Daniel Wilson Addo, expressed appreciation to the King and his leadership for receiving the CBG team. Mr. Addo added that the bank has invested greatly in the North by providing seven branches as part of its commitment to make banking all-inclusive and accessible to all with its 114 branches across Ghana.
