Accra, Sept. 25, GNA - The choral group of National Investment Bank (NIB) has marked its first anniversary with a musical concert dubbed: 'Promoting unity in the banking industry' in Accra.

The occasion was graced by many choral music fans from the banking sector with other supporting harmonic groups coming from Bank of Ghana, Access Bank and Prudential Bank.

Mr Gabriel Aheto, Music Director of the NIB Choral Group, expressed gratitude to God for sustaining the choir and the bank over the years.

The anniversary celebration was to entertain and remove barriers between customers and bankers, and create a more business friendly environment for all parties in the sector.

Mr Aheto said there is the need for other banking institutions to adopt NIB's initiative for using music to boost a congenial banking environment where customers receive services with comfort.

He was of the belief that the move could create a platform for banks to share ideas to boost performances of the financial institutions as they forge towards a united front.

The choir groups from Access, Prudential and Central bank as well as the host group, NIB Chorale Group, sang various harmonious hymnals and local choruses which got the audience dancing to their favourite tunes.

Some guest choirs including the African Glorious Chorale and Mary Mother of Good Counsel Main Choir also performed at the ceremony.

The anniversary was climaxed with the cutting of cake amidst cheers and Hallelujah chorus led by the NIB Chorale Group and a closing remark by the chairman Mr Kenneth Kafui, a music composer and a lecturer at the University of Ghana Music School.
