As part of its 60th-anniversary celebrations, the Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) has organized a health and fitness walk aimed at promoting employee wellness and fostering team spirit. The event, held at the Aviation Social Centre in Accra, brought together staff, management, and stakeholders under the theme “ADB Beyond Banking.”
The fitness walk is part of a series of activities the bank has planned to commemorate six decades of dedicated service to Ghana’s agricultural and financial sectors. Beyond celebrating its legacy, ADB is using the anniversary as an opportunity to strengthen its internal community and reinforce its customer-focused mission.
Speaking to the media after the exercise, ADB’s Managing Director, Edward Ato Sarpong, emphasized the bank’s renewed commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences. He outlined three key strategies the bank is currently implementing to enhance its operations and deepen client engagement.
“First, we have introduced our Excellence Culture, a new approach that prioritizes better customer service,” Mr. Sarpong explained. “Second, we have launched a digital transformation programme to make banking more convenient. Our goal is to bring the bank to the palm of every customer, allowing them to perform transactions easily from their phones.”
He added, “Third, ADB is one of the most liquid banks in Ghana. We are rolling out new products designed to build closer partnerships with our customers. Our philosophy now is to work with customers, not just serve them.”
Looking ahead, Mr. Sarpong revealed ADB’s ambitious vision of becoming one of the top three banks in Ghana within the next three years.
“We are working aggressively to achieve this target,” he said. “We aim to be not just one of the biggest, but also the most profitable bank in Ghana.”
Since its establishment, ADB has played a vital role in financing the agricultural sector and supporting Ghana’s economic growth. As the bank marks 60 years of service, it is using this milestone to reflect on its journey while charting an ambitious course for the future.
The health walk was just one of several events planned to engage staff and stakeholders throughout the anniversary celebrations.
