President of Groupe Nduom, Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom has reiterated his commitment to develop the Upper West Region of Ghana.

According to Dr. Nduom, Groupe Nduom has strategically positioned some of its key businesses in the region in order for development to take place.

He was speaking at the launch of Groupe Nduom Regional Office in WA, the capital town of the Upper West Region.

“People say the Upper West is the poorest region in Ghana. Then it means it needs development. We have come here to help remove that tag from it,” Dr. Nduom disclosed.

Some of Groupe Nduom’s businesses that have been taken to the Upper West include the following: financial sector - GN Bank and GN Life Assurance; Media - First Digital Television (which includes over 30 channels); Manufacturing - FreshPak and GN Electronics; Technology - Qualtek; Real Estate, Yorke Properties.  

Explaining Groupe Nduom’s massive investments in the Upper West further, Dr. Nduom said no one can develop this country better than Ghanaians themselves and urged every citizen to work hard and contribute their quota to national development.

Touching on GN Bank, Dr. Nduom revealed that the bank will be listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange next year to float shares for the general public to be part of its ownership.

He said Groupe Nduom will grow and expand the bank to the extent that it even lends money to the government so it does not go to the World Bank or International Monetary Fund (IMF) for support.

Dr, Nduom also used the opportunity to thank all the competent and hardworking staff of their contribution so far to the company.

“I want people to understand that it is not my family who manage everything but we have competent managers and staff who do it. This demonstrates that we as Ghanaians can do anything.”

“It's because of this that the Liberian bank came to us to help them. That is why we are in the UK, Cote d'Ivoire and now the US. It demonstrates again that the Ghanaian can do anything

That is why we say Groupe Nduom beyond excellence,” he concluded.

For his part the Regional Minister for the Upper West, Alhaji Amin Amidu Sulemani, praised Groupe Nduom for its massive investments in the region and pledged government support for the private sector.

He charged the people to save with GN Bank so the bank grows and also urged the staff to work diligently and professionally.
