Fidelity Bank Plc has debunked reports that its board has approved the probe of the bank’s immediate past Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Nnamdi Okonkwo.
The bank, in a statement on Tuesday by its Brand and Communications Manager, Ejike Ndiulo described the report as false, noting that Okonkwo served the bank to the best of his ability during his tenure as chief executive.
Nnamdi Okonkwo
Ndiulo said: “Our attention has been drawn to false information posted on some online platforms alleging that the Board of Directors of Fidelity Bank Plc has approved a probe of our former Managing Director/CEO, Mr. Nnamdi Okonkwo.
The story is entirely false, malicious and should be discountenanced
Mr. Okonkwo served the bank meritoriously as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer between 2014 and 2020 and led his team to achieve impressive results.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Board of Directors continues to hold Mr. Okonkwo in high esteem and wish him well in his future endeavors.
