GCB Bank PLC pays courtesy call on Ga Mantse

A delegation from Ghana Commercial Bank (GCB) Bank PLC, led by its Managing Director, Alhaji Farihan Alhassan, has paid a courtesy call on the King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, Ga Mantse at his residence in Accra, following reports of an unfortunate incident involving the revered traditional ruler.

The visit, described as one of solidarity and gratitude, was to express the Bank’s support and well wishes to the Ga Mantse, who is gradually recovering.

The delegation thanked God for preserving the King’s life and prayed for his full recovery and continued wisdom in leading the Ga State.

Addressing the Ga Mantse, the Managing Director reaffirmed the Bank’s strong ties with the Ga State, describing it as a major pillar in the Bank’s operations.

He noted that upon hearing the news of the incident, Management had intended to visit earlier but deferred to allow the King adequate time to rest.

“We are here to let you know that you are not alone. As a pillar of this land, the Bank stands firmly in solidarity with you and the Ga State,” he said, adding that the Bank remains grateful for the King’s blessings and guidance, particularly in the successes chalked in 2025.

He further expressed optimism for continued growth in 2026, stating that the delegation sought renewed blessings from the traditional authority to strengthen their resolve in contributing to national development.

Speaking on behalf of the Ga Mantse, the Chief Priest of the Ga State, Nuumo Akwaa Mensa III, thanked the delegation for the thoughtful visit.

He urged the Bank’s Management to maintain a strong and harmonious relationship with the Ga State to ensure mutual progress.

The Chief Priest also conveyed the King’s prayers and goodwill to the Managing Director and his team.

He offered special prayers for Alhaji Farihan Alhassan, acknowledging the challenges of leadership in the banking sector and encouraging him to exercise patience and tolerance in his dealings.

“The King prays for special grace upon the Managing Director. Working with all manner of persons requires tolerance and patience. He should not take certain behaviours of subordinates to heart but continue to work diligently for the good of the Bank and the nation,” he said.

The visit underscored the longstanding relationship between GCB Bank PLC and traditional authorities, highlighting the importance of collaboration between corporate institutions and traditional leadership in advancing community and national development.
