ICU-Ghana praises govt for establishment of Women’s Bank

The Industrial Commercial Workers Union (ICU) has applauded the government for its policy to establish a Women’s Bank saying it will no doubt go a long way in helping women, who constitute a greater proportion of Ghana’s population.

It noted that the initiative would create quick and easy financial access to women and resource them to embark on productive economic activity that would impact positive­ly on the nation’s economic growth.

Speaking at the Upper West Regional conference of the union at Wa yesterday, the ICU General Secretary, Mr Morgan Ayawine, entreated the government to be purpose­ful and consistent about the women’s bank project, and make it sustainable, to bring economic relief to Ghanaian women.

“We would, however, like to advise that the establishment of a women’s bank, this time around, should not be abandoned mid-way for lack of funds as was the case in the past with the women’s World Bank,” the statement said.

He said it was important to note that, in these challenging times, every effort must be made by the government, employers and la­bour to address labour-related concerns with speed and alacrity in order to forestall unnec­essary industrial actions at the workplace.
