The First Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr. Maxwell Opoku-Afari, has called for unity of purpose and the embracement of the shared vision to shape and propel the National Banking College (NBC) towards greater heights.
According to him, the commitment to innovate, adapt, and evolve to meet the changing needs of the banking and finance industry should be at the forefront of all endeavours.
This he believes will help grow a strong and well-trained workforce in the financial sector to ensure stability and growth of the economy.
Speaking at the 30th Anniversary Celebrations of the college, Dr. Afari, who represented the Chairman of the Governing Council of the NBC, Dr. Ernest Addison, said “As we look to the future, I am confident that we will take giant strides and create a lasting impact that will shape future leaders of the banking and finance industry”.
“Our commitment to infrastructural development cannot be overemphasized. Continuous improvement in the physical facilities, leveraging technology, and research resources for participants has enhanced the College’s appeal as an excellent worldclass learning environment that fosters growth, innovation, and success”, he pointed out.
In improving its operations, Dr. Opoku-Afari explained that the College is also working assiduously to ensure revenue sustainability through internally generated funds, adding, “The NBC’s strategic plan provides a clear roadmap to the year 2026, and the Governing Council believes that with the needed support, Management will efficiently execute the plan.

NBC programmes reach 165 in 2023
Through innovative programmes and strategic partnerships, NBC has equipped countless professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in the ever-evolving financial services sector. For instance, the number of programmes offered by the College has increased from 69 in 2018 to 165 in 2023, while participation jumped from 2,828 banking professionals and non-bank participants to 5,751 over the same period.
Additionally, the College has upgraded its IT infrastructure to improve programme content and delivery that match up with the expectations of stakeholders, as well as monitoring and evaluation of training activities.
The NBC’s commitment to excellence has also earned it recognition as a leading institution in financial services education, with trained participants serving as pillars of expertise, integrity, and professionalism in the country’s financial sector.
