Commenting on the recognition, Ebenezer Onyeagwu, Zenith Bank group managing director, said: “This award is a strong indication of our resilience despite a very excruciating macroeconomic environment exacerbated by the COVID 19 pandemic”.
Onyeagwu said the award was made possible by the joint contributions of the bank’s key stakeholders and Jim Ovia, group chairman of Zenith Bank, for his pioneering and foundational role in building the structures and laying the foundation for an enduring and very successful institution.
He also appreciated the board for the deep insights and outstanding leadership they provide, the staff for their commitment, doggedness, creativity and very outstanding talents as well as the bank’s customers for their continued support and loyalty.
