Nigerian banks and the organised private sector (OPS) will address critical areas of concerns and strategies to create sustainable synergy between the financial services sector and other businesses.
At the first National Stakeholders Conference on Synergy between the Nigerian Banking Industry and the Organized Private Sector (OPS), top financiers, economic experts and industry chieftains will proffer lasting solutions to the constant discord between the banking industry and the OPS.
The conference is being organised by the Association of Corporate Affairs Managers of Banks (ACAMB), the banking industry corporate communications and reputation management group.
Speaking at a pre-event media briefing in Lagos, President, Association of Corporate Affairs Managers of Banks (ACAMB), Mr Rasheed Bolarinwa, said the Nigerian economy would be the major beneficiary of the conference as far reaching strategies would be taken to tap into the nascent economic benefits through the expected synergy.

According to him, the conference would bring together the best players on both sides to act as think tank for the nation’s macro economic growth.
“The OPS is a valued stakeholder of the banking industry. Both the banking industry and the sector play major roles in growing the economy. The need for the two sectors to work closely cannot be overemphasised. ACAMB is therefore reaching out to secure the participation of relevant speakers at the conference,” Bolarinwa said.
He said the conference, which holds on Wednesday, 3rd August 2023 at the conference hall of the Bankers House in Victoria Island, Lagos, will have the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) as the keynote speaker while Presidents of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), NACCIMA and Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) as major speakers.
