The Chartered
Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) and the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC),  have charged licensed members to channel their services towards the growth of finance industry and the economy.
The institute issued practice licences and seals to 27 members to operate and practise their profession outside the banking halls in Lagos recently.
The President, CIBN, Mr. Segun Aina, said this had further conferred credibility on the recipients with an indication of dedication, integrity and assurance of high competence.
According to him, the certificate will make them more attractive to the clients, which will ultimately impact positively on their businesses.
A member of the Governing Council, CIBN, Mr. Asuquo Ekpeyong, urged them to use their core area of specialisation to enhance the growth of the economy and the financial system.
The forum had various experts from CAC and Centre for Management Development who spoke on the importance of the certificate.
The Registrar/Chief Executive of CAC, Mr. Bello Mahmud, said the corporation had beefed up its ICT connections for easier assessment and processing of company’s registration.
Mahmud, who was represented by Aliyu Muhammed, stated that the CAC had attained a giant stride in issuing certificates within 24 hours, with the aid of the ICT.
