The Praso Rural Bank, a Public Liability Financial institution, has held the 4th edition of its Nine Lessons and Carols at Kwahu-Praso on Saturday, December 13, to end the 2025 financial year.
The Chairman for the Occasion who as well serves as the Board Chairman of the Kwahu Praso Rural Bank PLC, while delivering an acceptance note advised the staff and guest present and the Management Board of the Bank to continue and uphold their Christian values.
He also urged the management and the staff to always foster their engagement to ensure the progress of the bank. He used the opportunity and commended the staff and the Board for their resounding contributions to the bank as it prepares to bring the year to an ample end.
“9 Lessons and Carols, who are we holding this event for? An ordinary year has 365 days and others have 366 days, and from January 1 to December 13, what has God done for you? Why are you still alive, why are you not sick? From what I know, every Christian must praise God every day of their lives.
If Kwahu Praso Rural Bank, some 43 years ago was collapsed, and today, we’ve been able to revive the Bank which now tops on the list of Rural Banks in Ghana, what would you do if you were a staff? I’m not sure anyone can say they haven’t been paid at the end of the month. What I can say is that all of you are doing extremely tremendous.
Do well to foster your engagement with the management and work hard in 2026 so the bank can also reward you appropriately. I’m expecting that, by the management report in 2026, every worker would execute what is expected of them. Support the CEO, Mrs Lucy Arthur so the Board can also testify that we’re helping you. Our vision is to lead the Rural Banking sector and ensure discipline amongst our employees. This is the second edition of our 9 Lessons and Carols, it’s because of your hard work and dedication, that’s why we’ve been able to reach this stage“, he quoted.
Speaking in an interview with Republic Online’s Andy Frimpong Manso, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mrs Lucy Arthur added that the board decided to hold the 4th edition of the 9 Lessons and Carols after its successful start in 2022.
” The board and management in 2022 decided to hold its first edition of the Carols night. Our main aim is to engage with other Christian unions to preserve our Christian values and also thank God for his protection and favour. The bank is still surviving, therefore, we must be grateful for God’s intervention and that’s why we are holding the 4th edition of our 9 Lessons and Carols night“, she added.
The CEO noted that the Bank will roll-out its new product for 2026, targeting small and medium businesses and the financing of tuition fees for Tertiary students.
