The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has lauded the invaluable contribution of the National Banking College (NBC) to the training of human resource in the financial sector.
The National Banking College was established on 9 April 1994 by the Bank of Ghana, under the governorship of the late Dr Godfred Agama and with support from the Ministry for Finance.
It was set up as an autonomous non-profit-making institution and charged with developing training programmes for bankers at the professional and managerial levels.
NBC currently runs 165 courses and has trained thousands of banking and non-banking professionals in the country.
Delivering a speech on behalf of the governor of BoG at the 30th anniversary celebration of NBC in Accra on Friday (26 April), the first deputy governor of the BoG, Dr Maxwell Opoku- Afari commended the stakeholders and staff for their unflinching support to the college since its establishment.
“The governing council, together with the various management teams, has selflessly managed affairs at the college in line with best practices and ensured its continued growth and relevance in the industry.”
“In each passing year, the institution has navigated through various economic landscapes and regional and global transformations to become stronger and more impactful. Indeed, the continued success of NBC attests to its resilience and dedication,” he said.
“More recently, issues that emerged from the banking sector clean up exercise necessitated a review of NBC’s strategies to actualise its vision of becoming a world-class institution, delivering effective training in banking and finance, and thus playing a leading role in the capacity building of employees in the financial sector,” Opoku- Afari added.
