We are not probing
OpenLife Nigeria has reliably gathered that information in the public space to the effect that the board of Fidelity Bank is probing its immediate past Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Nnamdi Okonkwo, is not true.
The bank, in a statement signed by Ejike Ndiulo, Brand and Communications and made available to OpenLife stated that the information should be disregarded.
They advised the banking public not to be assuaged by the false information saying that the bank holds Nnamdi Okonkwo in high esteem.
The bank statement titled “Rebuttal Of False Information” reads:
“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.”
