The Association of Professional Women Bankers has urged Nigerian youths to uphold financial integrity in their careers and businesses to sustain cultural values.
 
APWB Chairperson, Mrs Rafiat Onitiri, gave the advice during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
She spoke on the sidelines of the 2025 Annual Conference of the Committee of E-Business Industry Heads on Tuesday in Lagos.
 
Onitiri was reacting to the heroic conduct of a banker, Blessing Yohana, who blocked fraudulent transactions on an elderly customer’s account in Sokoto.
Yohana was honoured at the event by senior CeBIH executives, bankers and other financial services industry stakeholders.
 
Stakeholders, including a Central Bank representative, praised the banker’s integrity and exemplary character during the session.
 
“The lady celebrated today reflects strong upbringing,” Onitiri said, describing Yohana’s actions as a product of deep personal values.
 
“It goes back to foundation. She was raised well and later shaped herself through discipline and commitment,” she added.
 
Onitiri said Yohana’s integrity could not be bought and had distinguished her among her peers.
 
She said the honouree had written her name in gold, urging young Nigerians to emulate her conduct.
 
“Our young employees should learn from her and uphold our rich cultural family values,” she said.
 
NAN reports that Onitiri was also recognised for her election as Chairman and Council Member of the Association of Professional Women Bankers.
 
She praised the event organisers, saying the theme on reimagining financial inclusion through cultural shifts was timely.
 
APWB serves as the female wing of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria. (NAN)

A devious plot orchestrated by former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), and disgraced ex-Representative Muhammad Shehu Koko to destabilise Kebbi State has spectacularly backfired. The duo, now prominent figures in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), allegedly imported notorious bandits and thugs to wreak havoc in the state, only to be met with fierce resistance from enraged residents and loyal All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters. The incident, which unfolded on Monday in Birnin Kebbi, has exposed the underhanded tactics of Malami and Koko, revealing a sordid pact rooted in political desperation and criminal collusion. According to multiple sources, Malami and Koko, both recent defectors from the APC to the ADC, conspired to unleash chaos in Kebbi State to bolster their fledgling political relevance.
