Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Group Managing Director\/Chief Executive Officer of SCOA Nigeria Plc, Dr. Massad Boulos has commended Unity Bank Plc and other banks for facilitating a credit facility of N15.5billion for the importation and supply of 33 MAN Platform Trucks and equipment to construction giant, Julius Berger Plc.<\/p>\n

The equipment is to be deployed for the construction of the 380km Abuja-Kaduna-Kano roads.<\/p>\n

\u201cI commend Unity Bank, their MD and the members of the Executive Management; and the entire team of banks who have worked closely with us on this project.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe partnership with Unity Bank and the other banks is like no other considering the parties involved especially SCOA Nigeria and Julius Berger\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

Unity Bank advanced the largest sum of N4.24 billion for SCOA Equipment, which is a portion of the N17 billion total line of credit that the Bank extended to both SCOA Motors and SCOA Equipment.<\/p>\n

The other seven Banks \u2013 Heritage, Zenith, Providus, Wema, UBA, Union and Coronation Merchant Banks \u2013 pulled the total sum to facilitate the deal to be deployed for the construction of roads across the country.<\/p>\n

Of the 33 trucks that the total sum covered, 16 trucks were delivered during the first phase and handed over to Julius Berger. The second phase, which will see to the delivery of the remaining 17 trucks will be executed next month.<\/p>\n

At the hand over to Julius Berger, the Managing Director\/CEO of Unity Bank, Mrs. Tomi Somefun stated that the involvement of Unity Bank in the project financing deal was in line with the Bank\u2019s strategic business objective to redistribute resources and channel funds to critical sectors of the economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe looked at the strategic importance of this project and how such infrastructure could contribute to stimulating economic activity and decided that Unity Bank must play its part.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnity Bank will continue to provide support to such projects as we have been doing in other critical sectors of the economy such as agriculture,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Somefun was represented at the ceremony by Mr. Wale Ogunride, Directorate Head, Lagos and South West Zone, Unity Bank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
