Ghana Employers’ Association and National Investment Bank PLC Forge Strategic Partnership for Business Growth

The Ghana Employers’ Association (GEA) and National Investment Bank PLC (NIB) have initiated a promising new partnership, following a high-level meeting aimed at unlocking mutual growth opportunities and expanding financial support for businesses across Ghana.

The meeting, held between Chief Dr. Doliwura Zakaria, Managing Director of NIB PLC, and Mr. Alex Frimpong, Chief Executive Officer of GEA, set the stage for an innovative collaboration designed to empower businesses with tailor-made financial solutions and strategic development programs.

Chief Dr. Zakaria emphasized the significant value NIB could deliver to GEA’s members through customized banking products and services. He proposed specialized offerings such as Scheme Loans where competitive-rate financing solutions are tailored to support the operational and growth needs of businesses, and Fund Management where NIB will offer attractive investment options and professional fund management services designed to help the businesses maximize returns.

Mr. Frimpong, in acknowledging the value of such a partnership, expressed GEA’s enthusiasm for the initiative and pledged immediate support. To demonstrate this commitment, GEA offered complimentary advertising space for NIB in GEA’s widely circulated weekly newsletter which offers immediate visibility across its member network and complimentary exhibition stand at GEA’s flagship annual conference, allowing NIB to showcase its services and engage with key industry players.

A key area of alignment identified during the meeting was GEA’s flagship Female Future Programme, which focuses on nurturing female leadership within the corporate space. Both institutions expressed eagerness to explore collaborative support for this initiative, recognizing its alignment with NIB’s corporate social responsibility and gender empowerment goals.

“This meeting has been very productive and marks the beginning of what I believe will be a transformative partnership,” said Dr. Zakaria. “By leveraging each other’s strengths, we can drive profitability, innovation, and inclusive growth.”

To formalize the partnership, GEA and NIB agreed to develop a structured collaboration framework that will guide implementation, measure impact, and ensure long-term sustainability.

This forward-looking alliance between GEA and NIB PLC signals a renewed commitment to driving business excellence, financial inclusion, and economic resilience through purposeful collaboration.
