Managing Director of the National Investment Bank PLC (NIB), Dr. Doliwura Zakaria, has led a high-powered team from the bank to meet with the Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr. Johnson Pandit Asiama, as part of efforts to deepen collaboration and drive reforms.

Joining the meeting were the First Deputy Governor, Dr. Zakari Mumuni, and other senior officials from the BoG, with discussions centered on governance improvements, operational efficiency, technological advancement, and the growth agenda for NIB.

Dr. Zakaria, in his introductory comments, congratulated Dr. Asiama and Dr. Mumuni on their recent appointments, expressing confidence that their leadership would contribute significantly to the banking sector’s stability and innovation.

He acknowledged the unique relationship between NIB and the BoG, noting that the central bank serves not only as NIB’s regulator but also as a shareholder — a dual role that, while complex, offers important opportunities for strategic alignment.

Highlighting recent progress, Dr. Zakaria stated that NIB had made considerable strides toward profitability and reiterated the bank’s commitment to supporting national development goals. He emphasized the need for ongoing collaboration, especially in securing budgetary backing to fuel key projects.

Among the major items on the agenda was the proposed relocation of NIB’s corporate headquarters to Cedi House. Dr. Asiama responded positively to the idea, indicating that further engagement would continue to facilitate a smooth transition.

The meeting ended on a note of shared optimism, with both institutions reaffirming their commitment to fostering a stronger financial ecosystem.
