The MD of GCB Bank, Kofi Adomakoh, expressed appreciation for the visit and congratulated Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II for his election as President of the National House of Chiefs in November 2020.

He called asked for God’s guidance and the wisdom of King Solomon to discharge his duties with distinction.

Mr Adomakoh stated that the visit was timely since, in a few months, GCB Bank will commemorate celebrations for its 70^th Anniversary, which falls next year, by recognising the cultural and national heritage of the bank.

He added that as a strategic national asset, GCB Bank is driven by profit motives and social and economic development considerations. As such, the bank will continue to seek the interest of Ghanaians.

DMD Operations, Odartey Lamptey, who was at the meeting, also emphasised that GCB Bank’s wide branch network is driven by the need to seek the well-being of Ghanaians.

G-Money is currently utilised by many organisations, including cocoa-buying firms, who use it to pay cocoa farmers in a safe, secure, and speedy manner.

Nana Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II called for a closer working relationship between GCB Bank and the National House of Chiefs to help drive Ghana’s socio-economic agenda.
