National Investment Bank (NIB) PLC has committed GH\u00a21 million towards a housing redevelopment initiative for the Ghana Armed Forces at Burma Camp, reaffirming its partnership with the military while outlining steps to revitalise its own operations.<\/p>\n

The donation was announced at a brief ceremony, where the Managing Director of NIB, Chief Dr Doliwura Zakaria, described the contribution as seed funding for the Armed Forces\u2019 accommodation project.<\/p>\n

He noted that the bank and the military have maintained a strong institutional relationship over the years, including during periods of financial restructuring.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour continued confidence in us, especially during the difficult restructuring years, demonstrated institutional loyalty and trust,\u201d Dr Zakaria stated, acknowledging the Armed Forces\u2019 support during challenging times for the bank.<\/p>\n

He explained that the housing initiative holds strategic value, which is why the bank decided to back it financially.<\/p>\n

According to him, NIB is currently implementing reforms under the guidance of its principal shareholder, the government, including plans to float shares to strengthen its capital base and enhance long-term sustainability.<\/p>\n

As part of efforts to deepen engagement with military personnel, Dr Zakaria disclosed that NIB\u2019s board has approved the establishment of a dedicated branch at Burma Camp before the end of the year to improve banking access and promote financial inclusion within the barracks.<\/p>\n

Responding to the gesture, the Chief of Defence Staff, William Agyapong, expressed gratitude to the bank and commended its recent turnaround efforts.<\/p>\n

He noted that accommodation remains a major concern for the Armed Forces, revealing that the government has agreed to facilitate the construction of 10,000 housing units nationwide over the next five years.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the military intends to deliver 250 new units at Burma Camp under the redevelopment plan.<\/p>\n

Lt. Gen. Agyapong announced that a formal launch and fundraising event for the project is scheduled for April 18, 2026, and invited corporate bodies, including NIB, to support the initiative.<\/p>\n

The ceremony concluded with an exchange of honours, as NIB presented a citation to the Defence Chief, who in turn awarded Dr Zakaria a military plaque in recognition of his leadership during the bank\u2019s reform process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
