Continuous Education Programme for Directors of Banks
This is a special programme that was instituted by FITC in 2006 in collaboration with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and has witnessed the 5th edition since inception. The need to emplace sound corporate governance in the Nigerian Banks forms the major thrust of the programme. Each year, bank directors are made to undergo a two-day intensive training programme on their role as directors. The enthusiasm, with which the directors have received this programme, goes to show the eagerness to acquire knowledge and new perspectives, which would enable them, add value to their banks.
The communiqués emanating from the discussions at these seminar series, have been extensively used by the CBN to further improve corporate governance in the financial services sector.
