The Deputy Managing Director (DMD) of Zenith Bank, Adaora Umeoji, has quit her role in the financial institution due to the new tenure announced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for bank leadership.<\/p>\n

Recall that the central bank created a new timeframe for Deputy Managing Directors (DMD), Executive Directors (ED) and Managing Directors (MD) on February 24, 2023.<\/p>\n

The financial regulator, in a circular signed by the Director of the Financial Policy and Regulation Department at the CBN, Chibuzo Efobi, said\u00a0the DMD, ED and MD have a maximum tenure of 10 years based on the terms of their engagement approved by the Board of Directors of banks.<\/p>\n

But the Godwin Emefiele-led central bank stipulated a cumulative tenure of 12 years for a Deputy Managing Director or Executive Director that becomes the Managing Director or Chief Executive Officer of a bank or any other DMB before the end of their maximum tenure.<\/p>\n

This forced Umeoji to retire from the board which she joined in 2012 as Executive Director before she attained the position of Deputy Managing Director in 2016.<\/p>\n

Zenith Bank linked her exit from its board to the central bank\u2019s new tenure directive in a document dated 3rd March 2023 and signed by the company\u2019s secretary, Michael Otu.<\/p>
