Mallam Bala reaffirmed the BoI’s dedication to Nigeria’s industrial growth, aligning its efforts with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and the National Development Plan (2021-2025).

He stated that the Bank would continue to implement its medium-term corporate strategy for 2022-2024 to sustain its trajectory of supporting the nation’s industrial development.

Managing director of BoI, Dr. Olasupo Olusi, noted that the Bank’s various disbursement lines and managed intervention programs, including the Smallholder Farmer Financing Product, MSME Distributor Finance Programme, Fintech/Digital Lending Product, and Nigeria COVID-19 Action Recovery and Economic Stimulus (NG-CARES), have significantly contributed to economic recovery and job creation.

These initiatives have empowered Nigerian enterprises, especially micro and small businesses, to remain operational and sustainable.

He said as the BoI looks to the future, it remains committed to leveraging its financial strength to support the industrialisation and economic transformation of Nigeria, continuing its role as a critical driver of the nation’s economic progress.
