Groupe Nduom have officially commissioned a regional office complex in Wa and some three other branches of the GN bank at Bamahu, Loggu and Charia in the Upper West Region.

The opening of these branches brings to sixteen(16) the total number of branches of GN bank in the region, however the bank has a total of 245 branches accross the country.

Speaking at the launch of the regional office complex, the president and chairman of Groupe Nduom, Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom reaffirmed his commitment to developing the Upper West Region of Ghana. He went on that the group has already extended some of its businesses to the region as part of efforts to help develop the region.

Some of Groupe Nduom's businesses that have been extended to the Upper West Region include GN bank, GN Life Insurance, First Digital Television; Freshpak and GN electronics; Queltek; and Yorke Properties.

He noted that the tag of the region as the poorest region in the country can be changed through concerted efforts.

"We want everybody in Ghana to know that Groupe Nduom have come to Upper West to clear the notion that Upper West is the poorest region in the country, thats why we have brought our companies to this region . We want to make our contribution so as to transform the region. Dr Nduom revealed that GN bank will soon be listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange market to give the general public the opportunity to buy shares and be part of its ownership.

At the ceremony to commisssion the Charia branch of the bank, Dr Nduom encouraged the people to save with the GN bank to enable it grow and expand further to employ more people and even lend money to the government so that it does not go to the World Bank or International Monetary Fund (IMF) for external support.

Meanwhile in a related development, Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom has been enskinned as Yengeborr Naa(ceremonial chief) at Loggu in the Wa East District. This gesture is in recognition of his investment in the area of which the Loggu branch of GN bank was commissioned prior to his enskinment.

Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom has also commissioned a media house in Wa, the regional capital to add up to the numerous media platforms of Groupe Nduom across the country.
