The Association of Corporate Affairs Managers of Banks (ACAMB) says constant engagement and communication between the Organised Private Sector (OPS) and the banking sector will promote the desired sustainable growth and development of the economy.

In an interview on Sunday, ACAMB president, Rasheed Bolarinwa, said Nigeria would be the major beneficiary of the high-profile meeting between banks and the OPS as stakeholders seek to find lasting solutions to the constraints between the two critical sectors of the economy.

According to him, the OPS is a valued stakeholder of the banking industry as both the banking industry and the organised private sector play major roles in growing the economy.

“Therefore, there is a need for the two sectors to work closely together,” he said.

He said the first-ever national stakeholders’ conference on the synergy between the Nigerian banking industry and the OPS would hold on August 3, 2022.

He said the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, would be the keynote speaker.

Mr Bolarinwa added that the presidents of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), NACCIMA Institute of Directors (IoD) and Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) would be major speakers.

He urged the media to partner in the new paradigm shift of engagements with critical stakeholders in the industry, describing the media as crucial to creating mutual understandings.
