The Board of Diamond Bank Plc, has announced the appointment of Mr. Uzoma Dozie as its new Group Managing Director/CEO following the voluntary retirement of the Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Alex Otti. Mr. Dozie’s appointment is subject to the approval of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

In an official statement released by the Bank’s Corporate Communications Department, Chairman of the Board of Directors, HRM Igwe Nnaemeka Alfred Achebe (the Obi of Onitsha) announced the changes in management stating that Mr. Dozie appointment was in recognition of his extensive managerial capabilities.

According to the statement, “We are pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Uzoma Dozie as the new Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Diamond Bank Plc in consonance with the Bank’s succession strategy and in recognition of Mr. Dozie’s wealth of banking knowledge.

Expressing that the outgoing GMD/CEO will be sorely missed, Igwe Achebe extolled Dr. Alex Otti’s enviable achievements in the Bank, describing his tenure as “the brightest years of Diamond Bank’s 24 year-history”.

Under Dr. Alex Otti’s stewardship, Diamond Bank made a remarkable return to profitability and has continued to record impressive growth across all performance indicators year-on-year. After writing off toxic risk assets which resulted in the loss of N16 billion in 2011, the Bank posted a profit before tax of N28.36 billion in 2012 and N32.5 billion Naira in 2013. The Bank also saw its total assets rise from N564.9 billion in February 2011 to N1.18 trillion by December 31, 2012 and N1.52 trillion on December 31, 2013.

Dr. Otti is credited with creating the office of the Chief Risk Officer and designating an Executive Director to head the department. He also spearheaded the expansion of the Bank by doubling

the full staff count from around 2,000 in 2010 to over 4,000 as at mid-2014 even as he vigorously grew the Bank’s footprints from a network of 210 branches in 2011 to over 265 branches 3 years later. It was also under his watch that the Bank established an international subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in addition to expansion in Francophone West Africa (Senegal, Togo, and Ivory Coast).

It is to be noted that the Central Bank only recently classified the bank as one of the eight systematically important banks in Nigeria under Dr. Otti’s watch.

“Dr Alex Otti is a fine gentleman with an outstanding career in the Nigerian Banking industry. We are pleased with the time he spent at the helms of affairs of Diamond Bank Plc and wish him every success in his future endeavours”, commented the Bank’s Chairman.

Oh how I love this lady...congrats ma'am.

No worry nau, you go know the importance when you fail many Job aptitude test, where science and arts students are faced with same questions!
Maths and English are key in every endeavour.

To a large extent I agree with the OP. Nairaland has so many untapped potentials...anyday anytime, a finer homepage is better than an ugly one.

Kai na wa o

But why is our Govt so reactive After one has come in..."Oooops, we shd hv banned the entry of corpse"
There are still other avenues for the entry and spread of the virus...why not sit down now, think of those likely areas and curb them before they happen?
Hian!

God's General's John G Lake...I love him. I go with pastor Itua on this.

Good move

Yes

Stephen Keshi deserves 10 million. When was the last time we won the Nations Cup? 20 Years ago? World Cup 2nd round: 16 years?
A white man who would not return to Nigeria after disgracing us was paid far more than that...let's learn to appreciate our own.

The young man needs our help...nothing is too small.

If you are reading this, I am so glad that you are, really elated just to be plain about it. I have a friend who is in need of our help. It is so sad how the world is so full of deadly diseases and how lives are not spared in being habitats of such natural evils.
Yakub Yusuf is one guy with sleepy eyes, sly grin and tall body. He speaks well, very intelligent, and funny. Given a second chance to live, I am sure he would be thankful to God and stick to Him.

Painfully, Yakub Yusuf is a man who is suffering from cancer of the throat also known NASOPHARYNGEAL CANCER for a while now. My course mates, and I, the department of psychology, University of Lagos, 2013, though passed out now are greatly concerned for him and are trying everything possible to save his life. He was unable to graduate with us due to this grave illness. I was so sure that he would hit second-class upper degree and I tell you, he would have, given the chance. He still can, lets help him survive this phase of evil.

Sadly, it is in the records that we have lost two course mates to deadly diseases already, one in our final year and the other after our final examination; her name even graced the graduation and national youth service lists. We are tired of this occurrence and we are begging Nigerians to please help us save Yakub’s life.

Medically speaking, he needs SEVEN MILLION NAIRA (#7,000,000) to be flown to India where a doctor is already waiting to receive and commence treatment. #helpsavealife

Statistically speaking, seven thousand (7,000) Nigerians are only needed to pay in one thousand naira (#1,000) into this account details below which belongs to his mother #helpsavealife

Bank Name: United Bank OF Africa (U.B.A.)
Account Name: Rafiat Idowu Yakub
Account Number: 2027576182
Depositor’s Name: PSY2013(and Your Name)

Spiritually speaking, God has never failed and he is the only one who can truly save him and grant our efforts with success. If you have a good relationship with Him or you believe in Him please help dedicate a time each day and pray for Yakub Yusuf and I trust in the good Lord to answer us. I believe so much in prayers and God, like minds, please pray along.
Help comes in various ways and we are not restricting any. Prayers, payments and advises are most welcome.
