Staff, customers, and partners of Zenith Bank Ghana took to the streets of Accra on Saturday, October 18, to mark the bank’s 20th anniversary with a health walk that was a blend of fitness and fun.
Themed “20 Years of Impact, A Lifetime of Shared Growth,” the walk began at Zenith Heights, the bank’s headquarters, and covered several major city landmarks: from Liberation Circle to the 37 Military Hospital, Lands Commission, Cantonments, Danquah Circle, and back to Zenith Heights.
By the end of the route, many participants had clocked over a thousand steps and shared their excitement about being part of the event, praising Zenith Bank for their dedication to wellness and teamwork.
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Henry Onwuzurigbo, said the anniversary was not only about celebrating longevity but also about appreciating the shared effort that built the bank’s success story.
“Twenty years ago, we began a journey fueled by vision, driven by innovation, and anchored in service excellence. Today, we have walked to honour the strides we’ve made, strides that have transformed the banking landscape in Ghana.”
The event was filled with friendly competition and moments of celebration as Nana Yaa Asomani and her Kumasi Branch team won the Early Bird Treasure Hunt and took home GHS 1,000. The Most Spirited Team Award went to Ashfoam, who received GHS 3,000, while two young participants, a four-year-old boy and a five-year-old girl, were each awarded GHS 500 as the Youngest Walkers.
The Managing Director also acknowledged the Graphic Communications Group, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary, and members of the Ghana Wheelchair Basketball Federation who also joined the walk.
Mr. Onwuzurigbo said the 20-year milestone serves as a reminder of the bank’s responsibility to innovate and adapt in a fast-changing financial landscape.
“The next 20 years will demand even more innovation, agility, and heart, but if history has taught us anything, it’s that Zenith Bank Ghana doesn’t just rise to the occasion, we redefine it.”
The Health Walk saw a massive turnout of participants eager to engage in a healthy and invigorating activity and was filled with musical performances and aerobics.
