Steve Omojafor, Chairman, Zenith Bank Plc,  CBN Deputy Governor, Dr Kingsley Moghalu is the keynote speaker  while   Sir Aladekomo is the guest speaker.  Dr. Wiebe Boer, CEO, The Tony Elumelu Foundation will make a presentation on ‘’Impact Investing’’.

The theme for the forum, “Future of Banking in Nigeria: Stakeholders Expectations’’ was chosen against the backdrop of the reforms and changes in the nation’s financial sector and the nation at large vis-a-vis the new democratic dispensation, and the need for bank directors, being key decision makers in the industry, to be abreast of the how these changes would shape the future of banking in Nigeria so as to be prepared and position their organizations to benefit them.

As the umbrella body of bank directors charged with the responsibility to serve as a forum to enlighten and educate its members in regard to their responsibilities in respect to their banks, BDAN is poised to play  a leading role in preparing bank directors and the industry ahead of these changes.

That is why it has devoted this year’s annual stakeholders’ forum for this purpose.
