Let’s ensure domestic-driven prosperity – Nana Nketsia V

Nana Kobina Nketsia V, the Paramount Chief of the Essikado Traditional Area, has urged the credit unions to properly manage and invest their finances to grow small and medium scale enterprises, which are key pillars of the national economic prosperity.

He said the nation’s economic growth could be sustained if it were driven by internal wealth creation mechanisms based on prudent resource management and sound financial practices.

The paramount chief was speaking at a ceremony organised by the Western Regional Chapter of the Ghana Co-Operative Credit Union Association Limited to mark the 2015 International Credit Union Day.

The theme for this year’s celebration “People Helping People”, was chosen to drum home the significant contribution of credit unions towards the nation’s economic advancement.

Nana Nketsia gave the advice, “Forge ahead in unity, integrity, friendship, and reliability, as ways of winning public confidence”

Mr. Charles Assua-Yeboah, the National Chairman of CUA, Ghana, said the association had five hundred unions with more than 500,000 memebers.

He said the union continued to improve the welfare of members through attractive packages and the continual investment in the development of the nation.

Mr. Stephen Asiamah, the Acting General Manager of CUA, Takoradi Office, expressed gratitude to the dedicated members of the union for building such a great association.
