Ecobank set to elect new directors

Image
                                  Troubled Ecobank Transnational Incorporated is scheduled to elect new directors during an annual general meeting slated for the end of the month. The AGM is set for Lome, Togo on June 30. Shareholders at the meeting will also discuss the approval of the bank's account, ratification of the co-option of a director and re-appointment of a joint auditor. Ecobank has been characterised by crises in the past years following alleged corporate governance breaches by top management officials of the bank. Earlier this year, some directors of the bank resigned their appointment while the bank's Chief Executive Officer, Thiery Tannoh, was sacked by the board members. The election of new directors to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of three former directors and two other director due for retirement will thus top the agenda of the meeting on June 30.

I am surprised to hear such a fallacious rumor.It is true that my dad had stroke some five years ago, that’s in 2009. Presently he is clinically stable and he is recovering well.That was why I was very surprised when I heard about such information being spread in the media.The report saying that he is dead obviously makes every other thing false. He’s very much alive." he said "I am a medical doctor, and by the grace of God; I take care of my dad to the best of my ability; so, that is obviously false; he’s i

                             Photographer and poet Sandra Mbanefo-Obiago says that art should not be destructive or bring down the dignity of people but should teach something positive. "I believe that art, including photography, dance and music should have inspirational elements," Mbanefo-Obiago said in Lagos. The artist spoke at the Wheatbaker Hotel Ikoyi, the venue of her photo exhibition. The exhibition is titled Unfurling, and would hold from June 9 to August 31. According to her, artworks are able to show something from a vantage point that gives hope. "I don’t subscribe to art that is destructive or that tears down the dignity of others. Amid all the pain and disillusionment, striving for success and challenges, there is still beauty surrounding us; we should endeavour to enjoy it. "We hope that these photographs will allow our audience to appreciate anew some of the simple things that exist in our path everyday, which we rarely see,” she said. The pho
