Skye banks customers funds are safe and the Bank remains healthy and strong Says CBN.

The new Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Skye Bank Plc, Mr. Tokunbo Abiru, has affirmed the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) statement that Skye remains healthy and strong. Tokunbo Abiru Abiru, who spoke after taking over from his predecessor, Mr. Timothy Oguntayo, in a statement, said the bank’s fundamentals remain strong and virile, assuring customers and other stakeholders of the safety of their funds and investments. The new Skye Bank boss said his team would leverage on the bank’s reputable information technology platform to make the bank not just a frontline retail and commercial bank, but also an industry leader.

Abiru, who outlined his vision for the bank, said his team would harness the expertise and skill sets of the bank’s employees and the reconstituted board to take the bank to new and higher heights. He noted that being a Systematically Important Bank (SIB), Skye Bank occupies a sensitive role in the financial life of Nigerians and West Africa. The CBN had on Monday approved the reconstitution of the Board of Skye Bank Plc., with the apex bank appointing Mr M.K. Ahmad and Mr. Tokunbo Abiru as the new Chairman and Managing Director of the bank respectively. Other members of the reconstituted board are Bayo Sanni, Idris Yakubu, Markie Idowu and Abimbola Izu, all of whom were serving in the Executive Director capacity before now. The reconstitution of the Board followed the voluntary resignation of the former Chairman, Dr. Tunde Ayeni and other Non – Executive Directors of the Bank, namely, Mr. Victor Odozi, Mr. Babajide Agbabiaka, Dr. Jason Fadeyi, Mr. Kunle Aluko, Mr. Victor Adenigbagbe, Mr. Abdul Bello and Hajiya Amunna Lawan Ali. In the same vein, Mr. Timothy Oguntayo resigned his position as Group Managing Director / CEO, alongside Mrs. Amaka Onwughalu, Mr. Dotun Adeniyi and Mrs. Ibiye Ekong who resigned their positions as DMD, and Executive Directors. All the resignations take immediate effect.

The former leadership of the Bank voluntarily resigned their positions in order to pave the way for a new team to further the new strategic direction of the Bank in the retail and commercial business space. In this wise, the challenge of accelerating growth in the new strategic direction becomes more urgent and compelling, given the economic challenges in the global and domestic operating environment, and the attendant challenges.

It is incredible to imagine that a woman will use around 10,000 sanitary pads during her lifetime, if you don’t believe me sit down and do the math! So, it makes sense that serious consideration should be given as to how we use sanitary pads for optimum results. UNICEF 2010 asserts [/color][color=#000000]that one out of every 50 women use sanitary pads wrongly (some ladies use one PER DAY with no change). Ideally, the standard time to change a sanitary pad is once every 6 hours, although naturally this depends on your needs. Since whilst, some women with a light flow can afford to change every 6 hours the same can’t be said about women with heavy flow, who will probably be changing more frequently.
More details:

* Always choose a pad that meets your peculiar needs; sanitary pads vary from length and absorbency level depending on the flow. We can use the super absorbancy ones for the first few days, the longer for nighttime.
Note: A scented sanitary pad is not advisable as it contains chemicals that can be harmful to our sensitive part. Also, panty liners shouldn’t be used as a substitute for sanitary pads irrespective of the flow, especially during menstruation.

Putting it on:
* Sanitary pads these days are manufactured to be ultra slim with wings to provide extra comfort and super adhesive to fit perfectly into the panties.
* Remove pad from wrappers:
Yes! Most pads are individually wrapped, the wrappers should be removed but don’t throw it away … use it to wrap your old pad conveniently before you place it in the dustbin.
* Fold out the wings and take off the adhesives
* Stick the adhesive part of the sanitary pad in a position where it is directly beneath the vagina, one should also ensure the pad firmly clips the panties by aligning it a little further back to prevent leakage.
* Fold out the wings properly around the panties to ensure a firm grip.
* Many of us dig out our old panties or our granny pants during this time of the month so we should probably leave our thongs for another day *hehehehe*

Disposing the pads properly:
* Firstly, it is really important that we DO NOT flush sanitary pads. They will block the pipes and lead to a build up. Instead, wrap the used pad properly and place discreetly in the trash. When removing the pad from the underwear, pull from the top end and hold firmly before wrapping for disposal.

* Note:
* It’s very important to maintain a high standard of hygiene while menstruating. At every change, one should thoroughly wash the hands. When showering don’t use soap on your vagina because it can upset your natural Ph balance which can lead to thrush. Instead just use water.

* Aside maintaining proper hygiene habits, it is important to always have an emergency sanitary pad, most sanitary pads come in individual packs and are purse friendly thus it is easy to carry around.
