Managing Director of OmniBank, Philip Oti Mensah who made the announcement during the graduation ceremony in Accra indicated that, as a bank, they are committed to equipping young people with the requisite skills to enable them make something meaningful for themselves.

The OmniBank MD said the grandaunts will be enrolled in a week-long financial management training at their East Legon branch before launching their businesses. Mr. Oti Mensah emphasized the need for the grandaunts to critically assess the enormous opportunities the fashion industry presents for sustainable economic growth. He challenged the youngsters to continually stay abreast with the latest trends or developments in the industry so they could be properly equipped for a globally competitive market.

In applauding the management of Abbi Creation for heeding the bank's advise to promote entrepreneurship among its students, Mr. Oti Mensah said,  “We are proud to associate with Abbi Creation because they are one of the few clients who do exactly what you advise them that is why they are progressing”. We are proud to use them as an example for developing SMEs”.
