National Wire About Nigerians, Nigerian Business and Other Stories
The Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) has reacted to statements it has identified as unfavourable making the rounds especially on the social media about the bank.
The bank in a statement issued on Monday June 11 reads in part that, “The attention of Guaranty Trust Bank Plc (“the Bank”) has been drawn to false, mischievous and malicious statements circulating in the news and social media in respect of a purported directive by the Supreme Court of Nigeria to the Bank to make payments to one of its debtor Customers.”
The bank however advised its numerous customers to disregard any falsehood making the rounds about the bank and its operations. According to the statement, “The Bank’s Customers and the General Public are hereby kindly urged to disregard these false statements as nothing could be further from the truth. There was no directive or Order issued by the Supreme Court of Nigeria to the Bank to make any payment to any of its debtor Customers.”
The statement read further stressing the commitment of the bank to its numerous customers, its responsibility and sense of duty to Nigerians that, “The Bank as a highly responsible corporate citizen will in accordance with its culture and tradition refrain from making comments about on-going litigation matters and will continue to focus on using legal means to recover its bad debts. It must be emphasised that the Bank remains undeterred in its recovery drive against recalcitrant debtors.”
In closing the bank again reiterates “That there is no iota of truth in the falsehood being peddled by desperate and mischievous elements and the General Public should disregard same in its entirety. The Bank remains committed to providing best-in-class customer experience to all its valued Customers.”
GTBank however appreciates the general public for their continued support and patronage of the bank.
