In the past 5 years over 120 NDIC employees have or are currently taking the Chartered Banker MBA programme at Bangor University. The Chartered Banker MBA provides a unique dual award of a Bangor MBA together with a professional Chartered Bankers designation from the Chartered Bankers Institute and the Chartered Bankers Institute of Nigeria. Since its inception in 2011, over 1000 students from 82 different nations have completed or are studying on this dynamic and innovative Chartered Banker MBA. 

Commenting on the visit, Professor John Ashton, the Programme Director for the Chartered Banker MBA, commented. It is a privilege to host senior management from the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation. At Bangor University we recognise the excellent work undertaken by the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation both in Nigeria and across Africa. We aim to support and assist learners from the NDIC many years into the future.”
