STANDARD Chartered Bank Nigeria Limited has launched a proposition towards the professional development of women within the banking sector with the Transaction Banking Academy, which is part of its commitment to strengthening diversity for women in the workplace and strategically positioning women to thrive in the financial services future workforce.
Speaking about the initiative, Head of Transaction Banking, Nigeria and West in Africa at Standard Chartered Bank, Ibiyemi Okuneye, said: ‘‘We are very excited to relaunch first of its kind Academy in the Nigerian Banking sector. The Standard Chartered Transaction Banking Academy aims to improve the diversity of senior management talent in Transaction Banking across the banking industry.
“With the support of our Academy implementation partners, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Nigeria chapter and the Association of Professional Women Bankers (APWB), the Standard Chartered Transaction Banking Academy is one way we continue to nurture the skills and talent of professional women in the banking sector and provides us with an opportunity to amplify potentials of more women toward shaping a brighter future for all of us in the sector. For us at Standard Chartered, the academy is one of the many ways we continue to reiterate that we are here for good, and we look forward to the positive impact it will have on all our beneficiaries and the financial services sector as a whole.”
