Fidelity Bank Plc has refuted allegations circulated online claiming that the board of directors of the bank is probing the former Managing Director / Chief executive officer, Nnamdi Okonkwo.
In a statement signed by the Brand and Communications Manager, Ejike Ndiulo, the bank described the information as ‘false and malicious’ adding that the former MD/CEO served the bank with distinction.
The statement read thus: “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. 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.”
