Over three decades of excellence, innovation, and dependability in the Nigerian banking industry were celebrated at a commemorative event held over the weekend to mark Zenith Bank Plc’s 35th anniversary. The event brought together important stakeholders, partners, employees, and friends of the bank.
Zenith Bank honored its initial customers and long-serving personnel who have been there for 25 years or more in particular to honor the crucial contribution they played.
Vice-President and bank alumnus Senator Kashim Shettima spoke at the ceremony and commended Jim Ovia, the founder and chairman of Zenith Bank Plc, for being the driving force behind the wildly successful company that is currently Nigeria’s largest bank by Tier-One capital.
He said that Jim Ovia had already incorporated technology into the very fabric of the Nigerian banking sector long before it became the lifeblood of international finance. He established innovation as a concept rather than a fad, setting Zenith Bank on a course where excellence is expected rather than a goal. However, his actual signature appears on more than just the balance sheet.
