President Muhammadu Buhari has hailed a former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Afribank and Fidelity Bank Plc, Nebolisa Arah, on his 70th birthday.
President Buhari in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, congratulated the corporate czar for his worthy and noticeable contributions to the country.
The President noted that the trust and confidence that Arah built in every financial institution he led, created a culture of honesty, diligence and transparency that had continually attracted sustenance of the business chain.
He affirmed that the former banker’s trademark of reforming and reinvigorating financial institutions to meet the needs of the stakeholders, both public and private, remained a good example for the system, while his knack for the bigger picture of a functional economy was an inspiration.
“As the former bank chieftain, who also served on the board of many development agencies, including the think-tank, Nigeria Economic Summit Group, turns a septuagenarian, the President prays for more years of good health and strength to keep serving God and the country”, the statement stated.
