Former Chairman, Board of Directors of First Bank of Nigeria Limited, Ibukun Awosika, said she had great plans and aspiration for the bank before her sacking on Thursday by the Central Bank of Nigeria. She also said First Bank was able to deliver value to customers and stakeholders under her leadership. Awosika made this known in a statement on Friday posted on her Instagram handle titled, ‘My FBN Group Journey’. The PUNCH had earlier reported that the apex bank removed Awosika and all the board members of the bank on Thursday “to protect 31 million customers, minority shareholders of First Bank of Nigeria Ltd”. Reacting in a statement on Friday night, Awosika chronicled her journey with the board of First Bank which she said started in October 2010.
