Our 2006 audited and published financial statement confirms our new status and position as the biggest bank in Nigeria as well as the second most profitable.
We are not oblivious of the fact that this new status confers on us enormous responsibilities to offer leadership role in product innovation, creative thinking, value creation, adoption and implementation of global best practices.
Having catapulted the bank to this new height, we will then focus our energy and resources in sustaining this superior performance by continuing to offer a wide range of products and services to suit customers needs. At Zenith, satisfying customers needs are routine, natural and expected, but to generate the desired excitement and enthusiasm is to surpass those expectations.
Going Global
Having successfully commenced full operations at our subsidiary in Ghana Zenith Bank Ghana Limited, work-in-progress for other international locations will be accelerated.
Zenith is gradually becoming a global brand. As we go global by strategically establishing our footprints in international financial centres, the benefits to our stakeholders will be overwhelming value creation.
We will enjoy unparalleled cross marketing of our products and services as well as propagating and strengthening our brand name. Our international footprints will compel uniformity and adoption of global best practices as we significantly increase shareholders value.
As one of the market leaders in e-payment and deployment of various e-platforms in growing our consumer and retail banking activities, we will expect a major paradigm shift in customers taste and preferences for a more flexible, easy and cost effective way of doing business through e-platform. Zenith is a natural choice.
While we thank our numerous customers, shareholders and other stakeholders for their continued loyalty and unrivalled patronage, we will continue to ensure that our professional services team are appropriately motivated and empowered to continue in the delivery of first class services which will result in sustaining our superior performance in the years ahead. The future horizon remains bright.
