GEA and NIB Forge Strategic Partnership to Expand Financial Support for Ghanaian Businesses

The Ghana Employers’ Association (GEA) and National Investment Bank PLC (NIB) have initiated a strategic partnership aimed at strengthening financial inclusion and supporting enterprise growth across Ghana. This follows a high-level engagement between Mr. Alex Frimpong, Chief Executive Officer of GEA, and Chief Dr. Doliwura Zakaria, Managing Director of NIB PLC, to explore shared opportunities for business development.

At the meeting, Chief Dr. Zakaria emphasized NIB’s readiness to support GEA members with bespoke banking solutions tailored to meet their unique operational and financial needs. These include Scheme Loans, offering competitive-rate financing packages to help enterprises expand operations, and Fund Management Services, designed to optimize investment returns through professional portfolio management.

Mr. Frimpong welcomed the initiative, describing it as timely and mutually beneficial. He expressed GEA’s commitment to fostering the partnership and leveraging its extensive network to connect member enterprises to relevant financial support and business development tools that NIB offers.

Another promising area of collaboration identified was GEA’s Female Future Programme, an initiative dedicated to nurturing women’s leadership in corporate Ghana. Both institutions expressed enthusiasm for jointly supporting the programme, aligning it with NIB’s Corporate Social Responsibility agenda and broader commitment to gender empowerment.

To ensure sustained results, GEA and NIB agreed to develop a structured collaboration framework that will outline implementation steps, define measurable outcomes, and guide long-term engagement between the two organizations.

This emerging partnership marks a shared commitment to empowering businesses, promoting gender equity, and fostering economic resilience through innovative, purpose-driven collaboration.
