At BusinessDay’s fifth banking award on Friday la crème de la crème in Nigeria’s banking industry were recognised and extolled amid the current economic recession. BusinessDay is West Africa’s leading source of business and financial intelligence.

Frank Aigbogun, who is the publisher of BusinessDay said at the event “this five year old event is meant to recognise and acknowledge the significant role played by the Banking and Financial institutions and those that lead them.”

Aigbogun added that this is a very interesting year for Nigeria given that “we are passing through difficult times as an economy. But during tough times, the tough gets going.”

The BusinessDay banking award is the product of a rigorous process from BusinessDay’s Research and Intelligence Unit designed to feed the editorial and also drive commercial research. “Great institutions and leaders deserve to be  recognised to boost healthy competition” Aigbogun said.

Akinwumi Ambode, governor of Lagos State represented by Femi Pedro, former deputy governor of Lagos in his speech said the event inspires excellence and dedication in the banking industry. “Corporate governance is critical and awards such as this drive home this point. We thank BusinessDay for painstakingly putting this event together” he said.
