Staff, management, and customers of Zenith Bank Ghana on Saturday embarked on a health walk through the principal streets of Accra to commemorate the Bank’s 20th anniversary.
The 10-kilometre walk was on the theme: “20 Years of Impact, A Lifetime of Shared Growth.”
The walk started from Zenith Heights, through Liberation Circle, and then turned toward the Canadian High Commission. It continued to Jubilee House, the 37 Military Hospital, and then right toward the Lands Commission. From there, participants made a turn at the Cantonments Post Office Junction, passed Ghana International School, and continued through the Akufo-Addo Roundabout to Morning Star School, then to Danquah Circle, the Fire Service/Ghana Police Headquarters, the Ako Adjei Roundabout, and back to Zenith Heights.
Henry Onwuzurigbo, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, said the exercise formed part of a series of activities lined up to mark two decades of the Bank’s operations in Ghana.
Mr Onwuzurigbo said the health walk reflected the Bank’s commitment to promoting wellness, teamwork, and social engagement among staff and stakeholders while celebrating its steady growth over the years.
“Zenith Bank’s success story is not only about financial performance but about the people who make the journey worthwhile,” he said.
He said the walk symbolised the shared energy, resilience, and partnership that had sustained the Bank for 20 years.
“The Bank’s 20-year milestone highlights its focus on innovation, customer service excellence, and community development, reaffirming its place as a leading player in Ghana’s banking sector,” he added.
He said that 20 years ago, the Bank began a journey fueled by vision, driven by innovation, and anchored in service excellence.
“Today, we have walked to honour the strides we have made — strides that have transformed the banking landscape in Ghana and elevated the Zenith brand to one of strength, innovation, and trust,” he added.
The MD/CEO said this year’s health walk was particularly special and meaningful, as it was a symbolic gesture of the journey they had taken together.
Mr Onwuzurigbo said over the past 20 years, they had built a financial institution that stands tall in Ghana and commands respect across Africa and the globe.
He said the Bank would continue to maintain a robust capital adequacy ratio well above regulatory requirements, reinforcing its financial stability and resilience, among others.
He commended the media for their immense support in telling the Bank’s story and sharing its impact with Ghana and the world.
The event also featured free medical screening and wellness tips for participants.
Some customers who joined the walk lauded the Bank for maintaining close relationships with clients and for initiatives that promote good health and corporate social responsibility.
