"We use this medium to appreciate the state government for her confidence in the bank and also restate that we are committed to being of even more service to the State anytime the opportunity of financial empowerment/ inclusion of the citizens of the state arises.

"In order to further improve services rendered by the bank, virtually all the staffs were trained both internally and externally while deserving committed staff were promoted in order to boost morale.
