— As The First Ever Electronic Banking Outlet In Emohua LGA Comes To Stream
As the first ever electronic banking outlet in Emohua local government area since the creation of the LGA in 1991 comes to stream, the chairman of the local government area, Dr. Chidi Lloyd has expressed satisfaction with the emergence of a new narrative about the local government area, noting that the LGA now makes news headlines for productivity and not for negativity anymore.
Dr. Lloyd said the people of the area will forever remain grateful to God for the return of peace and security which has ushered in rapid development across the local government area.
The council chairman stated this at the unveiling of the first ever electronic banking outlet in Emohua local government area, at a brief ceremony held in the local government council secretariat on Friday.
Dr. Lloyd said the unveiling of the ATM gallery which is being operated by Titan Trust Bank marks the beginning of many more good news to come from Emohua local government area under his watch.
He maintained that the conception of the electronic banking outlet was in line with his administration’s vision of improving the socioeconomic life of the people of the local government area.
Expressing gratitude to the management of Titan Trust Bank for partnering with his administration to reposition Emohua local government area, Dr. Lloyd noted the risk taken by the bank to ensure that the ATM gallery was sited in the area.
The council chairman disclosed that the local government council had already made necessary arrangements to station an armoured personnel carrier at the ATM; to provide security for the facility and officials of the operating bank, as well as the users of the facility.
He however called for the collective support and cooperation of residents of the area to safeguard the facility, emphasizing that the security of the facility and the operators would attract other banking outlets to the local government area, as his administration was still in talks with other financial institutions for full banking services in the local government area.
Speaking further, Dr. Chidi Lloyd said the Titan Trust Bank ATM will henceforth address the difficulty faced by residents and business operators in the area who always shuttled Choba community and its environs in neighboring Obio-Akpor LGA for their financial transactions.
The executive director of Titian Trust Bank, Dr. Adaeze Udensi who performed the unveiling of the ATM gallery on the invitation of the chairman of the local government, noted that the project was conceived by the council chairman on assumption of office.
Dr. Udensi thanked the council chairman for the trust bestowed on Titan Trust Bank as partners in the development of Emohua local government area, stating that the relationship between the bank and Emohua local government council has attracted several other opportunities for Titan Trust Bank, as some other local government chairmen in Rivers State have also opened channel of discussion with the management of the bank, with a view to replicating the Emohua experience in their own LGAs.
Wowed by the new narrative about Emohua local government area within few months of the administration of Dr Chidi Lloyd, the executive director of Titan Trust Bank described Dr Lloyd as a visionary leader who is committed to the development of his area, stressing that the council chairman’s achievements within his few months in office has further demonstrated his love and passion for a greater Emohua local government area.
In her words: “It is not about who receives the highest allocation or who generates the highest revenue , rather it is about who utilizes the slim resources available to his administration efficiently for meaningful developmental projects.
“It is not because Dr. Chidi Lloyd receives more allocation than other LGA chairmen but his love and passion for the development of his LGA is what is playing out here”.
The Titan Bank director who was taken round the projects being executed within Emohua council secretariat by Dr. Chidi Lloyd expressed surprise over the infrastructural revolution currently witnessed across Emohua local government area and prayed God to strengthen the council chairman to actualize his vision for the people of Emohua local government area, as the management of Titan Trust Bank looks forward to a stronger partnership with the local government council.
The project sites visited include the ongoing construction of the ultramodern Emohua local government council secretariat building, the staff canteen, the council healthcare center (cottage hospital), the reconstruction and remodeling of the legislative council complex, the ICT center, the foundation laying for the construction of the council chapel and marriage registry, the already inaugurated ultramodern staff and public convenience, as well as the completed electrification project in the council secretariat.
