As a further demonstration of the Bank’s commitment to supporting Agriculture and SMEs in general, the event formed part of efforts by Unity Bank to promote sustainable agriculture and preserve, restore, beautify and enhance the environment.
Speaking on the collaboration, the Managing Director/CEO of Unity Bank Plc, Mrs Tomi Somefun, stated that the event is not only part of its Corporate Social Responsibility but also a further demonstration of its commitment to supporting Agriculture and SMEs.
She further opined that
“the Bank is convinced that the impact of this initiative will be well felt in a number of areas as it falls within the Bank’s core strategic focus, agriculture and its extended value chain”.
