Sterling Bank’s Managing Director/Executive Officer, Abubakar Suleiman has said that professional bankers who are wealthy may be stealing.
He stated this while speaking at the induction ceremony of 485 newly inducted members of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) held in Lagos.
He starkly cautioned that a career in professional banking is not a pathway to becoming a billionaire, barring unethical practices. He said, “If your purpose is wealth, and I will say this with all sense of responsibility, if you find a banker, a professional banker, not an owner, not an owner-manager, not an entrepreneur in banking but a professional and he says he’s wealthy, look at the person and ask how?
By virtue of being a professional in employee status, that is not the road map to ‘billionaireship’ unless you are a thief, but you are not. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be bothered becoming certified, taking your professional career so seriously, if all you are interested in is to make money.
