Bank To Reward Workers With Enhanced Financial Services

One Bank, a digital product of Sterling Bank Plc, has said it will celebrate and eulogise 250 Nigerian workers every week through its ‘One Professional’ initiative as a way of appreciating their tenacity and contribution to nation-building.
Group Head of Digital Banking at Sterling Bank, Oladipo Alabede, who disclosed this in a statement made available to The Tide source, said Nigerian workers deserved reward for their tenacity and contributions to the growth of the economy.
He said: “No nation can boast of tremendous progress or enjoy significant growth without a diligent, empowered and excited workforce. Over the years, Nigerian professionals have made giant strides across various industries like medicine, engineering and law, to mention but a few.”
The ‘One Professional’, he explained, is Sterling Bank’s way of amplifying the success stories of Nigerian workers while appreciating them. He explained that the initiative would give an opportunity to Nigerian workers to share stories of how they found themselves in their chosen careers.
“These stories will help inspire younger generations to make even better decisions while learning from mistakes made and lessons shared by others,” Alabede said.
He said Nigerian professionals would be provided with the opportunity to share inspirational stories of how they ventured into their various fields of endeavors every month throughout the year.
According to him, Nigerian workers stand a chance to win cash prizes from One Bank when they go ahead to download the One Bank app on Google and Play store and open an account.
He said the mechanics of the initiative was for a worker, who is a potential customer of the bank, to create a One Bank account, select sector/profession as part of the account opening requirement and complete the account opening process.

Kenyan Runners Dominate Berlin Marathons
Kenya made it a clean sweep at the Berlin Marathon with Sabastian Sawe winning the men’s race and Rosemary Wanjiru triumphing in the women’s.
Sawe finished in two hours, two minutes and 16 seconds to make it three wins in his first three marathons.
The 30-year-old, who was victorious at this year’s London Marathon, set a sizzling pace as he left the field behind and ran much of the race surrounded only by his pacesetters.
Japan’s Akasaki Akira came second after a powerful latter half of the race, finishing almost four minutes behind Sawe, while Ethiopia’s Chimdessa Debele followed in third.
“I did my best and I am happy for this performance,” said Sawe.
“I am so happy for this year. I felt well but you cannot change the weather. Next year will be better.”
Sawe had Kelvin Kiptum’s 2023 world record of 2:00:35 in his sights when he reached halfway in 1:00:12, but faded towards the end.
In the women’s race, Wanjiru sped away from the lead pack after 25 kilometers before finishing in 2:21:05.
Ethiopia’s Dera Dida followed three seconds behind Wanjiru, with Azmera Gebru, also of Ethiopia, coming third in 2:21:29.
Wanjiru’s time was 12 minutes slower than compatriot Ruth Chepng’etich’s world record of 2:09:56, which she set in Chicago in 2024.
