Oba Akiolu to banks: Using women to mobilise deposits is denigrating

By

Oba Rilwan Akiolu of Lagos has called on banks in the country to stop the practice of using female staff for deposit mobilisation.He made this call yesterday at the World Conference of Banking Institute hosted in Lagos by the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria, CIBN.“Your methods and approach in sending single girls, married women to go and look for deposits are very very humiliating,” Oba Rilwan said.The Oba also called on them to brainstorm on how to put to rest the rising trend of graduate unemployment in the country, adding that banks should provide financial support to graduates for entrepreneurship purposes.In his words, “The bankers, the chief executive of the banks, should put heads together to see what can be done about all the graduates we are turning out now. I am just writing a paper to the federal government to suggest that last six months of the  National Youth Service Corp (NYSC)  scheme of one year, should be used to train graduates on ”˜do it yourself’ projects, and this can be extended to include  the last three months in the university.”The government and top bankers should put heads together and see how they can lend these people (graduates), N1 million which they will pay back after one year that they would have done something on their own. The rate at which we are turning out graduates in this country needs to be addressed.”
