It looks like this is factual. Yes, the CEO of FirstBank of Nigeria has resigned in the most intriguing way considering that his contract expires at the end of the year, Dec 31, 2024. I just hope it is well with him and his family as bank leaders do not resign like janitors with no notice! But if it is for another career opportunity, good luck to him.
“As you are aware, my contract would be expiring on 31 December 2024 after which I would no longer be eligible for employment within the Bank having served as the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of FirstBank for a record time of nine years.”
“During this period the Bank and its subsidiaries has undergone significant changes and broken new grounds. We have repositioned the institution as an enviable financial giant in Africa.”

The ‘other interests’ he cited could be a political career, and waiting till December might cut his ticket. It’s all good.
