We found out that there hasn’t been enough education for customers, on how to plan for the future, how to plan their wealth for their children, secure their wealth and make it efficient through a number of our products.”
He called on the participants to avail themselves of the various products and services EDC offers, stressing that the company has all it takes to manage and improve customer’s assets.
In his remark, Managing Director, Ecobank Nigeria, Patrick Akinwuntan restated the bank’s commitment to having regular sessions on educating its premier customers, on ways they can ensure their businesses outlive them, and successfully transit to another generation.
He noted that as a bank that has footprints in 36 countries in Africa, the Financial Institution could also advice and give customers access to other African markets, stressing that “we believe successful individuals, companies and businesses should endure generations mostly because of significant interest and importance”. “So what we intend to do is; expand the network, markets and opportunities that can further improve the wealth creation, wealth generation and wealth sustenance for our cleints.”
Speaking on the theme, ‘Intergenerational Wealth: A myth or reality’, the Guest Speaker, Lead Advisor, Family Wealth Africa, Folajimi Kuti, stressed the need for customers of the bank to build business models that would outlive them. Proshare Nigeria Pvt. Ltd. Related News
