The visit forms part of a range of strategies geared at repositioning NIB to support the industrialization program of the nation. NIB prides itself of facilitating the setting up of a number of other well-performing industries including Novotel (now Accra City Hotel), Kabel Metal (now Nexans Kabelmetal), Aluworks, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Sarpong indicated that the success story of the industries NIB funded over the period is there for all to see. \u201cHowever having first-hand information about how they are performing presently and understanding the current needs of industry would help us to better appreciate the type of financial support required by industries. This will help the bank develop appropriate financing programs to support industrial development. That is one of the reasons why we are embarking on these visits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Improved support for the manufacturing sector, Mr. Sarpong, believes is the surest way to help increase the country\u2019s production of goods, reduce imports and create employment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIncreased support for the manufacturing sector is one of our core mandates, as NIB was actually set up to help drive and stimulate rapid industrialization of the Ghanaian economy. We are taking steps to ensure the bank is put on a strong footing, and once that process is complete, we would resume what we are known for, funding viable ventures in the industrial sector.\u201d Mr. Sarpong emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>The MD\/CEO was accompanied by his Deputy, Alfred George Thompson and some senior management members. They were warmly hosted by the Managing Director of Nestle Ghana Limited, Philomena Tan, the Director of Finance, Ousmane Kamara and the management of the production facility.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Messrs Samuel Sarpong and Alfred Thompson sample some products of Nestle Ghana.
