Aboh attributed the Bank's success to its customers and shareholders, adding that their support had provided the foundation upon which the Bank is repositioning for superior performance and better returns on investments for all stakeholders.

From every indication, we are making progress with our resolve to reposition Oceanic Bank and ensure value creation as well as better returns for our customers, shareholders, staff and other stakeholders."


The Bank's management said that as Oceanic enters its third decade, it would continue to place high premium on service excellence in order to delight its customers and Oceanic apart from the competition. To achieve this, the Bank has since launched a 24-Hour world class Customer Care Center to handle all customer enquiries.


Aboh added that the Bank had also embarked on strategic and targeted training and re-orientation programs for staff to promote effective customer service, professionalism, and optimal performance. "I am confident that we have a unique group of resilient and resourceful staff that can transform Oceanic into a respected and profitable global player in the financial services sector."
