Shettima hailed the Chairman and Founder of the bank, Chief Jim Ovia, for his foresight, noting that long before technology became the bloodstream of global finance, Ovia had already woven it into the Nigerian banking system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, beyond performing excellently in guarding Nigeria\u2019s wealth, Zenith has also nurtured the nation\u2019s dreams, sealing the bank\u2019s status as Nigeria\u2019s largest bank by Tier-One capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking in Lagos during the 35th Anniversary of Zenith Bank, Shettima noted that in July 1990, when the bank was born in Nigeria\u2019s banking sector, it was quite glaring that \u201ca motion was set in place for a revolution in the nation\u2019s corporate culture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The great strides the bank made, he noted, were the cumulative effects of what earned it the prize as the nation\u2019s number one bank, a position it has retained for 16 consecutive years, \u201cmaking it a benchmark in the annals of African enterprise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extolling the bank\u2019s innovation and integrity, the vice president said: \u201cAnd so, as we gather to celebrate Zenith Bank at thirty-five, we are honouring a culture\u2014a culture where innovation is instinct, where integrity is non-negotiable, and where service to humanity is as important as service to shareholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn behalf of the Government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I salute Zenith Bank; I honour Mr. Jim Ovia, and I commend Dame Adaora Umeoji. May the next thirty-five years find you still breaking barriers, still setting standards, and still proving that in Nigeria, greatness is not an exception\u2014it is an expectation,\u201d Shettima added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
