He emphasized their focus on reaching those at the grassroots and the base of the economic pyramid, aiming to integrate them into the financial system.
The decision to establish the 11th branch in Ajah is part of DavoDani’s strategy to enhance its visibility and extend its impact. Enajemo-Isire noted that the bank has played a pivotal role in revitalizing struggling businesses, enabling them to not only survive but also expand and create employment opportunities.

Ologe also pointed out the bank’s comprehensive coverage policy, aiming to have a presence in every part of Lagos. He emphasized the importance of physical proximity, especially in the current economic climate where SMEs require increased funding due to factors like inflation and foreign exchange rate challenges.
In conclusion, Ologe emphasized the critical role DavoDani plays in supporting business owners during these challenging times. With job losses prompting many to establish small businesses, the bank stands ready to provide the necessary financial support for them to thrive and succeed.
