We are celebrating them today because of the rigorous nature of the programme that we designed for them. I’m particularly confident that these guys are going to do extremely well when we deploy them into their different branches.”

Head of the First Academy, Tolulope Uwadia, affirmed that the move was part of the customer-focused strategy of the bank.

She said, “We are all about our customers. Part of our strategy is to ensure that we have enough hands to handle our customers in the market.
