The Nigeria-South Africa Chamber of Commerce (NSACC), led by its Chairman, Ije Jidenma, has commended Stanbic IBTC Bank for its longstanding partnership and pivotal role in strengthening economic relations between both countries.
Jidenma gave the commendation during a courtesy visit to the bank’s Lagos office, where she conveyed the Chamber’s appreciation to Stanbic IBTC’s Managing Director and CEO, Wole Adeniyi, on behalf of the Board and members.
She described the visit as part of NSACC’s renewed efforts to reconnect with strategic partners that have consistently supported its mission of fostering trade and investment.
Stanbic IBTC was particularly lauded for its unwavering commitment to the Chamber through thought leadership, advocacy, and active participation on its board.

Highlighting the Chamber’s new strategic direction, Jidenma said NSACC is aligning its activities around four pillars—membership growth and engagement, brand visibility and influence, trade and investment opportunities, and advocacy and stakeholder engagement.
She noted that Stanbic IBTC’s corporate values closely align with these objectives.
The visit also doubled as a platform to brief the Bank on preparations for the Chamber’s 25th Anniversary celebrations. Jidenma invited Stanbic IBTC to play a leading role in marking the milestone, stressing its importance as a symbol of the South Africa–Nigeria economic partnership.
“As one of our most valued members, we look forward to working with Stanbic IBTC to make the anniversary not only memorable but also transformational,” she said.
The engagement reaffirmed the strong ties between NSACC and Stanbic IBTC Bank while paving the way for deeper collaboration to advance regional integration and sustainable economic growth across Africa.
