Graduation Speech
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, after your graduation you will be officially called ladies and gentlemen and expected to act as one in the world of careers.
Congratulations on passing college. I hope you really enjoyed your stay in college. It is a period to look back and smile about when you grow older.
I feel that somehow I haven’t earned the right to stand here and talk to you about a career in banking and what I have learned. You see, I have only been a banker for seven (7) years. My boss there can talk to you more on banking experience. Especially on developmental banking. Most of you may only know of commercial banks, you see them everywhere. Banks are channels for people and corporations to save money, invest money and borrow money.
My bank is into developmental banking. The name itself says it. Development Bank of the ____________. Our primary mandate is to provide for the medium and long-term financing needs of enterprises, with emphasis on small and medium-scale industries, particularly in the countryside.
