For speeding up growth of Mmockmbie Credit Union: General Manager, Ngezem Skyly, wins int’l award.

Ngezem was singled out for his sterling performance at the helm of Mmockmbie Credit Union.

The dynamic and results-oriented General Manager was honoured by the United Nations, UN-CISRI, a permanent Observatory Mission in Cameroon and the Grass 2 Grace Humanitarian Organisation. 

It was the Goodwill Ambassador of the UN-CISRI Cameroon, HRH Chief Thomas Fotang, who handed the coveted prize to the recipient Monday. 

This was during a reserved reception ceremony at the Yaounde office of the Mmockmbie Credit Union. The event was attended by close collaborators of the General Manager and some members of the credit union.

The organisers said Ngezem was recognised for “his excellent services as nation builder and dependable senior corporate manager par excellence in Cameroon”.

Chief Fotang said since becoming General Manager of MmoCCUL, Ngezem has shown demonstrable commitment in ensuring the growth of the credit union.

He said the GM has put up a sterling performance, recording major breakthroughs in expanding the institution countrywide.

While presenting the prestigious prize, amidst thunderous applause from attendees, Chief Fotang described the GM as a great servant of the nation “who has the heart of gold”. 
“He falls amongst few Cameroonians and other nationals who are to be honoured for a job well done in this nation,” he stated. 

The founder of the Grass2Grass humanitarian foundation, said his organisation was in Yaounde “to celebrate a mover and shaker who is an example of a veritable nation builder”.

While throwing accolades on the deserving recipient, Chief Fotang said the results-oriented and venerated Mmockmbie GM has decided to kill the brain drain syndrome of the western world.

“He is an example to emulate. He has proven that no matter the odds, we can still make it in Cameroon,” Chief Fotang said of the awardee.

He then noted that Ngezem is amongst few Cameroonians who have refused to ask what the nation has done for them but have decided to do something for the nation. 

“Our main celebrant of the G2G Courageous Men’s Prize has stood the test of time. From humble beginnings with the Mmockmbie Cooperative Credit Union, which started with 14 members, he has since increased membership to 8,500 in all its branches,” he stated.

He said since 2016, Mmockmbie Credit Union, under the leadership of the super star community hope giver, members have been enjoying topnotch services.

He said for over seven years under the leadership of Ngezem, the institution has been employing scores of Cameroonians, “thereby fighting unemployment, which is so alarming in the country”.

“Thanks to the savior fair of our recipient, Mmockmbie Credit Union is fast becoming Cameroon’s prime digital microfinance institution. Dreams have become reality. Through the credit union, houses have been built and businesses created,” he concluded.

Enter MmoCCUL General Manager

Speaking shortly after being decorated with a diamond-like medal, accompanied with a trophy, muffler and a certificate of honour, the youthful, yet top performing General Manager of the Mmockmbie Credit Union, said he was humbled by the distinction.

While stating that the distinction will serve as an encouragement and a motivation to do more, Ngezem noted that the prize was a victory for the entire microfinance institution.

“I am very happy to have been offered this distinction. Of course, we have been receiving awards as a credit union and an institution, but this is the first time I am receiving an award as an individual,” the GM said, while thanking the entire G2G team for the recognition. 

He then said he was dedicating the award to “our valued staff. Alone, I couldn’t make. It is thanks to teamwork that we are where we are today”.

“We want to assure our very dear members that the future is pregnant. We are very determined to improve on our services,” he quickly added, before boasting that: “Mmockmbie Credit Union is simply where dreams become reality”.

We’re best in digital services

Recalling the major outcomes of the credit union’s Annual General Meeting, AGM, held in Douala, earlier this year, the GM noted that they “had a series of innovations unveiled to members”.

“From Monday, that is a week from now, we will be having two additional international services across all our branches-that is WorldRemit and RIA, just like we promised them. These services are coming to add to Western Union that has been existing,” he said, stating that: “We are glad to say that MmoCCUL now has one of the best centralised softwares. With this software, our members are able to practice mobile banking, through which they push and pull money from their accounts from the comfort of their homes”.

“This software is quite innovative. Once you are in any branch, the history of your account is with you because you can consult your account at any moment,” he continued.

Speaking further on other giant moves of the Credit Union, the GM disclosed that: “The Kumba branch that we announced at the start of the year is finally here. Kumba will be starting in exactly two weeks from now. The branch will be hosted in our centralised system, exactly two weeks from now. We are calling on the entire population of the South West Region and Meme Division in particular, to make use of this new branch at their disposal”. 

“Today, we are heavily represented in five Regions of Cameroon. We just want to assure our valued members that progressively, we are going to cover the entire country; progressively, we are going to be the number one credit union in Cameroon. Our dream is simple; there are only two best credit unions in Cameroon, Mmockmbie Credit Union and the others,” he concluded on a positive note.
