The industrial drive of the Imo State Government and the Organised Private Sector in the state has received a boost from both Skye Bank Plc and the Bank of Industry.
The two financial institutions have pledged their willingness to assist potential investors with necessary incentives.
Speaking at a one-day Skye Business Seminar on ‘Nurturing Businesses for Growth’ held in Owerri, the Executive Director of the Skye Bank Plc., Mrs. Ibiye Ekong, said that the bank had been positioned to take business and industrial concerns in the state to the next level.
According to Ekong, the bank established wide representations with effective connecting and computer warehouse to focus firmly on growth.
She said,“Imo is a big commercial centre and we hope to be partners in progress in the onerous task of industrialising the state”
Saying that the Skye Bank had already organised similar seminars in Lagos, Onitsha, Benin and Abuja, she said that it was aimed at equipping industrialists with the tools on how to run their businesses.
Ekong added that the seminar which is the sixth in the series focused on General Commerce/Manufacturing. “It was also packaged to inject discipline into the business of entrepreneurs which would be followed by a recap next year for them to connect, to learn and to grow”.
Adding his voice, the Regional Head (South East) Bank of Industry, Mr. Tokunbo Akinsola, said that the bank had initiated efforts aimed at accelerating the pace of work on the Onitsha Road Industrial Layout in Owerri.
