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.
Location: Lagos, Nigeria

  Oil firm Royal Dutch Shell was told a pipeline had reached the end of its life years before it spilled up to 500,000 barrels of oil, according to court documents seen by the BBC. Two spills in 2008 affected about 35 sq miles (90 sq km) in southern Nigeria, according to a group suing Shell. The area included sensitive mangroves. Shell "dismisses the suggestion that it has knowingly continued to use a pipeline that is not safe to operate," it told the BBC . The emails, letters and internal reports submitted to a court in London show that senior Shell employees were concerned before the spill that Shell's pipelines in the area had reached the end of their lives and needed replacing to avoid danger to lives, the environment and the economy.
