During the celebration on Friday, April 26, Gloria Quartey, the principal of NBC, reflected on the institution’s evolution into a beacon of banking education and shared plans for expansion, international partnerships, and embracing technology.
In her speech, Mrs. Quartey highlighted the importance of NBC’s role in shaping Ghana’s financial sector and its commitment to fostering growth and innovation in the industry.
She emphasized the college’s plans to reach a broader audience, forge strategic partnerships with international institutions, and integrate advanced technology into its curriculum to better prepare students for the ever-evolving financial landscape.
Dr. Maxwell Opoku-Afari, the first deputy governor of the Bank of Ghana and representative for NBC’s governing council, underscored the college’s pivotal role in shaping the nation’s financial sector.
His remarks underscored the significance of the institution’s contributions to the development of the banking industry and its continued relevance in the face of rapid technological advancements.
