Mr Buako said the climax of the event would be the “Governors Day’ when the head of the Bank of Ghana would enumerate his policies and plans for the ensuing years. In all, about 80 banking and finance students, workers of the various banks and council members of the institute participated in the walk, under the guard of some officers of the Ghana Police Service.
