The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Thursday removed Mr. Oba Otudeko and Mrs. Ibukun Awosika as Chairman of First Bank Holdings Company and Chairman, First Bank of Nigeria Plc respectively.
The bank also removed all the directors of the bank and the holding company.
At a press conference in Abuja, CBN Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, said Otudeko on three occasions rejected his entreaties not to remove Mr. Sola Adeduntan as managing director of the bank without making recourse to CBN, which has been providing regulatory forbearance to since 2016.
The apex bank announced the reappointment of Adeduntan as Managing Director and Gbenga Shobo as Deputy Managing Director of the bank respectively.
