straight and explain to the general public the history of GN Bank; the impact it was making in expanding access to banking nationwide; the challenges it faced; and the need to restore the licence.
According to him, repeated attempts to engage the current Administration (particularly the former Minister of Finance Ken Ofori- Atta) and the Bank of Ghana (BoG) among others such as the House of Chiefs and religious bodies has not yielded positive results.
Hence the need to go public with the facts.
The campaign took an important step when on Saturday July 6, 2024 it started sending letters to schedule appointments with presidential candidates and political parties.
The purpose of the meetings was for GN to present petitions asking the candidates and political parties to support its campaign for the restoration of the GN Savings licence; and ultimately an upgrade back to universal banking status.
