Access Bank Plc has announced the retirement of its chairman, Mosun Belo-Olusoga, effective January 8, 2020.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the bank said: “Mrs. Belo-Olusoga has confirmed that she has no disagreement with the board.”
It added that there are no issues relating to her retirement that need to be brought to the attention of the shareholders or regulatory authorities.
