The Essay is meant for Nigerian undergraduates and secondary school students.In a press release, First bank says that the competition is borne out of their belief in the products of the Nigerian Educational system. It is a worthy initiative, honestly. It warms my cockles that one of the greatest players in the Nigerian banking industry is expressing interest in a national agenda, demonstrated in this manner. Not as if alot of other banks have not done similar things or even better, it is not my prerogative to judge. But to accept that there is a problem and to ask for the role they can play, as a bank, whether suggestions get implemented or not, is an indication of discerning corporate policy and a touch of reality that is missing in alot of Nigerian establishments. Of course it is good to dream and wish for a better Nigeria, even one where cars run on water, but to ignore the realities on the ground is more than foolish, it is preposterous.
First Bank… Truly the first!
