ARB Apex honours managing director
The ARB Apex Bank has honoured the outgoing Managing Director, Alex Awuah, for his dedicated service to the organisation for the past 12 years.
Mr Awuah, who has ended his service with the bank, was celebrated for introducing reforms to the organisation that have transformed the rural banking sector.
Mr Awuah, who entered the bank as Head of Internal Control, became a deputy managing director and acting managing director before assuming the position of managing director.
Among other things, he was presented with an undisclosed amount of cash, a plaque and a citation which, among other things, read: “The Board of Directors of ARB Apex Bank proudly honours you, Nana, for your distinguished service, exceptional leadership and transformational impact during your tenure as the managing director”.
Leadership
It also read: “Mr Awuah, your leadership marked a defining period of the banking industry”
Moreover, it said he provided strategic direction and decisive leadership.
“In fact, his tenure has seen many reforms, especially in the operational areas,” the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the bank, D.O.K. Owusu, said at the End-of-Year Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols last Friday, where Mr Awuah was honoured.
The event was held on the theme: “Redemption has come: The Saviour is born”
He said Mr Awuah had also implemented many reforms in the rural banking sector, resolving many conflicts among banks and maintaining cordial relationships with the Bank of Ghana and the Ministry of Finance.
“We cannot just allow him to go without recognising the enormous services he has rendered to the bank,” he emphasised.
Honour
Responding, Mr Awuah said he was grateful for the honour done him.
He thanked the bank for the opportunity to provide his services.
“Our bank is a very important institution and so if you find yourself as a staff member of this institution, count yourself lucky and important,” he said and charged staff members to be united in the organisation.
In a sermon following the nine lessons and carols, the Head Pastor of the Living Streams International, Rev. Ebenezer M. Markwei, charged the staff to receive God’s salvation plan for their lives.
He said that if they did not receive it, it meant they still carried the shackles of sin.
Again, he said they should repent and dedicate their lives to Him.
“It is Christmas and the reason for Christmas is God’s redemption plan.
The reason for Christmas is that the Saviour has come.
The reason for Christmas is that you and I would have life and have it abundantly,” he emphasised
