OmniBSIC Bank donates vehicle to Airport Police to enhance security

OmniBSIC Bank has made a significant contribution to local law enforcement by donating a Nissan Navara Pickup to the Airport Police Station in Accra.

This initiative aims to boost the operational efficiency of the police force and strengthen security within the Airport enclave and its surrounding areas.

During the vehicle handover, OmniBSIC Bank’s Managing Director, Mr Daniel Asiedu, commended the Airport Police Force for their unwavering support, which has facilitated the bank’s seamless relocation to the Airport area.

“Since we relocated our head office here, we have enjoyed enormous support from the Airport Police. This support extends to other locations where we are present. We believe it is important to support the Airport Police to enhance their capabilities. We have never experienced any crime incidents or shortages of police presence here. Amidst all challenges, they are doing their best,” Mr. Asiedu remarked.

Mr. Asiedu emphasized the collective responsibility in policing and called on other corporate organizations to support security agencies, particularly the Ghana Police Service. He acknowledged the government’s resource challenges and advocated for a collaborative approach to bolster the police’s capacity. “Policing is not solely the responsibility of the Ghana Police but of all of us. While the government is tasked with resourcing them, it faces significant challenges. Therefore, I call on other corporate organizations to support the security agencies, especially the Ghana Police,” he urged.

He reiterated OmniBSIC Bank’s commitment to supporting the communities in which they operate, highlighting the bank’s ongoing initiatives to enhance the well-being and security of these communities. “Our commitment to supporting the communities where we operate is unwavering. We will continue to expand our initiatives to give back and enhance the well-being and security of these communities,” Mr. Asiedu further stated.

Receiving the donation, the Regional Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Arhin Kwesi Annor, stressed the importance of shared responsibility in policing and the crucial role of logistics in their work. He expressed confidence that the donated vehicle would enable the Airport Police Station to patrol a wider area, respond to emergencies promptly, and engage in proactive policing strategies.

On behalf of the Airport Police Station, DCOP Annor conveyed profound gratitude to OmniBSIC Bank’s management and staff. He further instructed the District Commander, Superintendent (SP) Michael Asiedu, to ensure the proper maintenance of the vehicle to guarantee its longevity and continued service to the community. “We are committed to maintaining the high standards of safety and security that our community relies on. This vehicle will significantly enhance our ability to serve and protect,” SP Asiedu stated.

Other executives of the bank present at the ceremony included the Company Secretary and Head of Legal and Recoveries, Mrs. Akyaa Afreh Arhin Addo-Kufour, and the Group Head of Corporate Communications, Service Quality and E-Business (CSE), Mrs. Chidinma Braye-Yankee.

This donation underscores OmniBSIC Bank’s dedication to corporate social responsibility and its proactive role in supporting local law enforcement to ensure the safety and security of the community.
