 <\/p>\n

Senior bankers in the nation\u2019s banking sector have been urged to mentor the younger generation so as to ensure sustainability, safety and soundness of the banking and finance industry.<\/p>\n

Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Mr. Lamido Yuguda gave the advice at the relaunch of the CIBN Mentoring Scheme, with the theme, \u201cMentoring: Unlocking Career Potentials and Possibilities\u201d, in Lagos, weekend.<\/p>\n

He said that their commitment to mentoring the younger generation would go a long way in actualising the objectives of the institute\u2019s mentoring scheme.<\/p>\n

Yuguda said: \u201cLet me use this opportunity to encourage senior bankers to collaborate with CIBN in actualising the objectives of the mentoring scheme. Your commitment to mentoring the younger generation will go a long way in ensuring the sustainability safety and soundness of the banking industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the young bankers, I enjoin you to make the best use of this rare opportunity! I am confident that with the cooperation of all stakeholders, the CIBN mentoring scheme will be a point of reference for others,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Sec Boss stated that to be a successful professional, one must be ambitious, willing to go the extra mile, try to be a value enhancer and must be outstanding.<\/p>\n

He said that such a person must be teachable and willing to learn from other persons who are deemed successful in the same career path.<\/p>\n

According to him, it is critical for young bankers to be mentored by seasoned senior colleagues as they progress in their careers because the banking profession is predicated on trust and professionalism.<\/p>\n

Yuguda said, these values could be taught but are actually reinforced when demonstrated by senior bankers and emulated by their younger colleagues.<\/p>

\u201cDue to the peculiarities of the banking industry, it is easy for young bankers to get distracted with the prestige and sometimes material benefits that come with the profession.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, mentorship relationships help to keep such young professionals grounded and focused on building character, advancing their knowledge, growing their professional network and cultivating the right values.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is important because what makes success sustainable for a professional is a combination of skill, experience and the right values,\u201d the SEC director general said.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the CIBN President, Mr Bayo Olugbemi, said that the Institute had identified mentoring as a potent tool for bridging the gap between learning and doing.<\/p>\n

\u201cEsteemed audience, the changing times requires that we do things differently; the changing times require that we do things differently.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the CIBN, we believe so much that to maintain safety, soundness and stability of the banking industry, the human capital has a pivotal role to play in this wise.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have identified mentoring as a potent tool for bridging the gap between learning and doing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to uphold ethics and professionalism which is the hallmark of our banking industry and our great institute, accomplished and experienced bankers need to mentor the young and upcoming ones in order to sustain the ideals of our indsutry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
