Nunieh stated this yesterday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, during the sensitisation forum by NDDC Staff Cooperative Investment and Credit Society Limited on the establishment of a microfinance bank .
The NDDC boss re-stated the resolve of the Interim Management Committee to join forces with key stakeholders to challenge powerful forces and systems that held the commission captive and subverted its core objectives. She said that the floating of a microfinance bank was coming at the most auspicious time when hard decisions needed to be taken to reset the trajectory of the NDDC and avoid the backlash of history.
Nunieh added: “Now is the time for the good news and it begins right here as we collectively embrace the idea of pulling our resources together to build a platform that will make financial products and services accessible and affordable to individuals and businesses, regardless of personal networth or business size.
“As we continue working to increase financial inclusion and access to safe, affordable financial services through the establishment of the microfinance bank, we must be reminded of the greater task of building an intervention agency that delivers quality services and infrastructure for our region and our people.”
