The Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria and the Association of Corporate Communication and Marketing Professionals in Banks have called on banks to deepen financial inclusion, promote women’s empowerment and support the growth of micro, small and medium enterprises through targeted policies and strategic frameworks.
The call was made during a courtesy visit by ACAMB to the newly inaugurated 24th President and Chairman of Council of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria, Dr Dele Alabi, to congratulate him on his investiture and discuss closer collaboration between the two organisations.
The visit followed Alabi’s investiture on May 16, 2026, during which he unveiled his “IMPACT” vision, themed “Consolidating Our Local Impact, Enhancing Our Global Relevance,” according to a statement on Monday.
According to the institute, the vision is anchored on six pillars: inclusion across geographic, gender and generational lines; membership growth and quality; professionalism and ethics; accountability; competencies and skills development; and technology, automation and innovation.
Speaking during the meeting, Alabi said financial inclusion and women’s empowerment would remain priorities under his leadership because women often serve as the primary financial managers and caregivers in families.
