Access Bank Sweeps Dual Honours At Global Good Governance Awards In Singapore
Rashidat O. Okunlade Writes
Access Bank Plc has clinched two major accolades at the 2026 Global Good Governance (3G) Awards, cementing its reputation as a leader in ethical leadership and grassroots development.
The bank received the 3G Community Empowerment Award 2026 and the 3G Best Corporate Governance Framework Award 2026 at a glittering ceremony held on April 28 in Singapore. The prestigious awards, organised by Cambridge IFA, are based on rigorous, independent research and evaluation of nominees.
The event drew over 300 delegates from more than 15 countries, including government leaders, corporate executives, and philanthropic figures. The gathering also featured the Global Good Governance Summit and the launch of the Global Good Governance Report 2026, hosted by Dentons Rodyk. This year’s theme, “AI Governance for the Prosperity of the People and the Planet,” sparked critical conversations on ethics and sustainability.
Mr. Eyitayo Olabode represented the bank’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Roosevelt Ogbonna, at the ceremony, receiving the honours on Access Bank’s behalf.
Reacting to the recognition, Ogbonna described the twin awards as a powerful validation of the bank’s internal values and external impact.
“This recognition is a validation of Access Bank’s commitment to responsible leadership, strong governance structures, and inclusive growth,” Ogbonna said.
“At Access Bank, we believe good governance is foundational to building trust, creating shared value, and driving sustainable development across our markets. These awards reflect the dedication of our people and our deliberate efforts to empower communities, embed transparency, and ensure accountability in all we do.”
The bank’s latest feat underscores a consistent strategy of aligning corporate performance with social impact—an approach that continues to set benchmarks for responsible banking across Africa and beyond.
