GT Bank Plc reaffirmed its position as global brand at 2015 Euromoney Award in London



           
Guaranty Trust Bank Plc, one of Africa’s leading financial institution has once again reaffirmed its position as a global brand after it was bestowed the ‘Best Bank in Nigeria’ during the 2015 Euromoney Awards held in London at the Natural History Museum on Thursday, July 09, 2015.
The Euromoney Awards for Excellence covers more than 20 global product categories, best-in-class awards and the best banks in over 100 countries around the world by recognizing institutions that have demonstrated leadership, innovation, and momentum in the markets they operate.
In selecting its recipients, Euromoney combines quantitative and qualitative data to honor institutions that have brought the highest levels of service, innovation and expertise to their customers.
According to Mr. Clive Horwood, Euromoney Magazine’s Editor, “Competition for the awards this year was tough, arguably the toughest it has been since the start of the global financial crisis. In winning this award, GTBank stands out not only because of its stellar performance but by its ability to define what its core strengths are, abide by these strengths and build its business around them. According to him, banking in the future will be about what you do, as well as what you don’t do.
“GTBank stands out as Euromoneys’ best bank in Nigeria for its ability to adapt to local situations while maintaining international standards of best practice,” Horwood.
Receiving the award on behalf of the Bank, Segun Agbaje, Managing Director/CEO of GTBank said “We are humbled and proud to be recognised as the Best Bank in Nigeria. For us, this award is an acknowledgement of the hard work and dedication of our staff, management and Board. It represents our commitment to serving our customers and providing them with value oriented products and services suited to their varied needs. 
“Our desire to always be at the frontier of excellence, enables us remain relevant to our customers and add value to all stakeholders. Being, the first Nigerian bank to win this award seven years consecutively, outside of 2013, when we were recognised as The Best Managed Bank in Nigeria, is also an affirmation of our position as a Proudly African and Truly International Institution,” he said.
Whilst thanking the bank’s customers for their continuous patronage and tremendous support over the years, he further stated that the Bank will continue to leverage its brand equity to tap into the growth potentials of African economies.
                                 


GTBank has consistently played a leading role in Africa’s banking industry. The GTBank brand is regarded by industry watchers as one of the best run financial institutions across its subsidiary countries and serves as a role model within the financial service industry due to its bias for world class corporate governance standards, excellent service quality and innovation.

10 World Most Eloquent People

Image
Only the eloquent can adequately describe eloquence. It includes articulation, a mellifluous tone of voice and poise under pressure. To be eloquent is to speak well in a persuasive and deeply thoughtful way. Though it appears to come easily, eloquence does not often come naturally. The most talented speakers often have training in rhetoric and behavioral psychology. Here are 10 great examples of eloquent speakers who have made their mark on the world. 1. Martin Luther King, Jr “I Have a Dream” is perhaps the most powerful speech in American history. In poetic, unequivocal language, he explains how people can live up to their ideals for the sake of their children. 2. Abraham Lincoln In a speech only two minutes long, Lincoln explained the moral justification for the Civil War in his Gettysburg Address. 3. Winston Churchill In a few short years Churchill transformed himself from a burly, unemployed, failed novelist to a leader of the free world with ...

40 years ago, after the calamitous coup failed, Lt. Colonel Buka Dimka who played a leading role in the events of February 13, 1976 sought refuge in the arms of an old girlfriend in Afikpo in the then Anambra State. An indigene of the town, Chief Jasper Okoro, a native of Afikpo now in Ebonyi State, a former Editor-in-Chief of Ebonyi State owned newspapers, publishers of the Nigerian Patriot recounts the events of that time and he like many other indigenes of the town would not disclose the present identity of Ugo, the former Dimka flame who is now married. Excerpts: What can you say about the Dimka’s coup? I was a teacher when the coup took place and Dimka and his partners were declared wanted. At that time, the radio kept announcing that whoever finds him should report to the police as some benefits will be given to the person. So, every 15 minutes or thereabout the radio continued to flare the information. Dimka had served as an officer here, (Afikpo) we came back from Biafra and m...

Secrets of happy marriage? Respect, celebrate each other —Uma Ukpai

Evangelist, Rev. Dr Uma Ukpai is one of the few preach­ers who is vocal and blunt without minding the conse­quences. The septuagenarian, in an interview with Ef­fects at his Uyo office recently, spoke about his lifestyle, growing up and how far he has gone as a preacher. Can you share with us some aspects of your giv­ing back to the soceity? I wish I brought the pictures of the polytechnic I’m building. A polytechnic of N1 billion. I have already built administrative blocks of 92 rooms, e-library of 20 books, a lab for computer engineering, a computer science lab, a lab for electrical engineering, a lab for statistics.
