National Commercial Bank of Africa has announced it’s newest branch in the vibrant Eastleigh neighbourhood, at the newly opened Business Bay Square Mall to tap into the thriving business community in the area.

This development underscores NCBA’s drive to grow it’s retail banking, with a target of 10 branches at the end of 2023.

Hon. Yusuf Hassan, MP Kamukunji, commended NCBA’s initiative, highlighting it’s potential to amplify economic prospects in the area and Kamukunji Constituency at large. He emphasized the key role of financial inclusivity in fostering equitable economic expansion and prosperity.

The MP also adviced the Eastleigh business community to invest more in different activities like sports, in order to create job opportunities for the youths. “The only way to reduce the number of unemployed youth in Nairobi is through investing.” adviced Yusuf.

“Nairobi is full of youth with no stable source of income so by creating opportunities will help close the gap of unemployment.” added the MP.

Hassan also appreciated the NCBA bank for the opening and urged them to offer jobs to youths in Eastleigh since it’s the most populated area in Nairobi.
