Commenting on the Bond, group managing Director/CEO, Herbert Wigwe said, “We are a Bank with a rigorous and disciplined capital plan and the action taken today is in line with our 5-year strategic plan. This is to ensure a strong capital buffer at all times and support our low risk appetite. Following the merger, we identified some synergies and combined with this issue, we are confident of our capacity to attain the next level of being a more efficient Bank.”
