BOI also said it recorded a 75 per cent increase in its Profit-Before-Tax to N61.15 billion in the 2021 financial period.

 

BOI’s Managing Director/CEO, Olukayode Pitan, said at its 62nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) that the result showed the bank’s capacity to withstand economic headwinds to boost the Federal Government’s revenue as well as the upward trajectory in the bank’s performance and results have enabled it to attract local and foreign capital in order to fulfil the obligations of its mandate.

According to him, in February 2022, BOI successfully issued a €750 million Eurobond to enhance its capital base to support its customers and the real sector of the Nigerian economy.

 

“In the year under review, the Bank disbursed a total of N213.63 billion to 30,406 Nigerian enterprises through both direct and indirect methods. This represents a 47.3% increase over disbursements in 2020.

 

“The 2021 disbursement includes N2.99 billion to 22,120 farmers through the bank’s Smallholder Farmers on-lending product; and N1 billion to 4,000 micro-retailers through the Bank’s MSME Distributor Finance Programme.

 

“Through these interventions, an estimated 950,640 direct and indirect jobs were created in 2021. Pitan also reaffirmed the bank’s continued efforts towards supporting its stakeholders and achieving its mandate,” he said.

 

He reaffirmed the bank’s continued efforts toward supporting its stakeholders and achieving its mandate.

 

It will be recalled that at the commissioning of the second tower of the BoI building in Abuja in March, 2022, President Muhammadu Buhari commended the Bank for disbursing more than #1•24 trillion to 4•2 million beneficiaries from micro, small, medium and large enterprises as well as urging the management of the Bank to ensure that it’s impact is felt all over the country.

 

Buhari also expressed satisfaction that the new building which is a world-class building was financed from the internally generated revenue IGR of the Bank and therefore approved issuance of the severeign guarantee to help the Bank raise funds in the Eurobond market.
