BOI Creates 1m Jobs In One Year
The Bank of Industry
(BOI) has disclosed that it has created one million jobs for Nigerians within a period of one year.
The Bank’s Managing Director, Mr Rasheed Aderinoye, stated this recently on the bank’s official website WWW boing. Com.
Aderinoye said that the bank has also given out about N692 billion loans to customers to finance approximately 2,000 projects across the country, stressing that the bank as a leading development finance institution cannot afford to fail Nigerians in wealth creation and promotion of small-scale agro businesses.
He said the bank’s management has streamlined the processes of accessing the bank loans by ordinary Nigerians through a lot of information dissemination.
The BOI boss said the bank has decentralized its operations through the opening of zonal offices in Lagos, Akure, Asaba, Enugu, Bauchi, Kaduna and Abuja in addition to its corporate headquarters at Marina, Lagos Island.
He said the bank has three methods for Nigerians to access its financial loans through applying for application forms, questionnaire and meet with the bank analysts for evaluation and assessment, adding that these are simple processes put in place by management to reduce any cumbersome process encountered by Nigerians previously in accessing the bank loans.
