Capital Bank CEO calls for national policy for Ghanaians living abroad
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Capital Bank
Ghana is urging government to develop a national
policy aimed at helping the re-integration of
returnees and individuals in the diaspora into the
Ghanaian communities.

Fitzgerald Odonkor is also pleading with
government to provide enhanced support for
organizations like Returnees-Diaspora Integrated
Development Organization (RIDEO) which supports
returnees to grow into national resource centers.

“These national resource centers will be
important contact points for returnees seeking
requisite local knowledge and establishing local
business networks to effectively implement their
ideas. The resource centre will also focus on
harnessing the skills, knowledge and experiences
of returnees for national development”, he
stated.

He was speaking at a send off ceremony organized
by Returnees Returnees-Diaspora Integrated
Development Organization (RIDEO) for 21
African-Americans who have traced their roots to
Komfueku in the Shama district of the Western
Region.

“We believe that helping returnees to
successfully integrate is a win-win situation for
the country due to the jobs and opportunities they
can create for the society”, the astute banker
said.

According to him, returnees from the diaspora have
diverse experiences that they can bring to support
the country’s economic development, adding
“Capital Bank is a bank that believes in the
potential of the African and we are prepared to
partner you to help achieve your goals.”

The CEO took the opportunity to bid the brothers
and sisters from the Diaspora farewell to their
respective basis in the USA and hope they
establish strong footprints in Komfueku.

Capital Bank is presently undertaking a retail
banking drive with its V Man campaign which is
expected to boost the savings culture of
Ghanaians.


The V-Man vouchers come in denominations of 200,
100, 50 and 20 cedis which are used as cash
deposits to open accounts for individuals.
Beneficiaries are then expected to top up their
accounts with cash equivalent to the minimum
voucher every month for four months in order to
redeem the V-Man voucher.
