According to the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, SegunAgbaje, the bank remains positive amid the coronavirus pandemic that has affected the financial services sector and the economy.

His words, “These are very difficult times, not just for the financial services sector and the economy as a whole, but also for hundreds of millions of people around the world whose lives and livelihoods have been put at risk by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“At GTBank, we know that the impact of this pandemic may sustain for months to come, but we remain positive that by staying nimble and continuing to build on the strength of our businesses, we are appropriately positioned to cope with emerging economic realities, as reflected in our first-quarter results.”

He noted that the bank was working tirelessly to keep both employees and customers safe while supporting the government’s efforts at combatting the pandemic.
