Nedbank sponsors agri students
NEWS IN SHORT
Nedbank Namibia has announced its sponsorship of N$560 000 towards the Agra Agricultural Academy.
The academy offers students the opportunity to pursue national certificates and diplomas in fields such as plant production, animal production, advanced farm management, agricultural extension and agri-sales and services.
The funding will cover students' registration and tuition fees.
Nedbank Namibia MD Martha Murorua said: "I am not disclosing any trade secrets if I profess that the agricultural sector has been a key strategic pillar in our strategic plan, and it will remain so for the immediate future. We are keenly aware of our percentage share of loans and advances within the banking sector, and we also understand what it is that we need to do to keep broadening our economic impact. However, merely saying that agriculture is important to us at Nedbank Namibia is one thing; proving it to be so is another. This announcement of investing in a better future for Namibia in agriculture serves as one indicator of our intent."
