This is contained in a statement issued in Lagos by the Head of Communications and Public Affairs, NDIC, Alhaji Hardi Birchi.
Ibrahim, according to the statement, said the corporation would collaborate with civil society groups in its public awareness, financial literacy, financial inclusion, consumer protection and sustainable banking campaigns.
He also stated that NDIC would organise biennial “special workshop” for the civil society organisations to constantly acquaint them with its activities.
According to him, Nigeria needs not individuals, but strong institutions that will leave legacies of a highly committed and professional workforce.
Ibrahim said that the synergy with the CSOs was necessary because they were regarded as the mouthpiece of the poor depositors that the corporation was established to protect.
The statement said that the CSOs conferred the 2014 Certificate of Commendation Award on Ibrahim “in recognition of his leadership skills”, which he applied in the management of the corporation.[eap_ad_2]
The statement also said that President of the CSOs in the country, Mr Bassey Etuk, commended the NDIC boss for his leadership qualities and experience, which he had translated into the management of the corporation.
He said that the CSOs gave Ibrahim award based on transparency, professionalism, proactive decisions, teamwork and effective delivery services by NDIC under him. Etuk said that the award was instituted two years ago by the more than 290 CSOs in the country as a platform to work with public institutions.
He said that the award was designed to enhance good governance and promote efficient service delivery to the citizenry.
“To this end, we are proud to tell the world, and especially the Nigerian people, that today transformation is working in NDIC as championed by the managing director.
“In particular, depositors’ money in banks is now safe; the issue of mismanagement in deposit money banks and micro finance banks is now a thing of the past,” Etuk said. (NAN)[eap_ad_3]
