Investors  in Heritage Bank Plc  yesterday   described   the  bank as one of the nation’s healthiest and fastest growing banks, with a target of becoming an industry leader in the the near future.

The investors told journalists in Abuja  that an attempt to de-market the bank had been brought to their notice but that those behind the attempt would fail.
