Following the retirement of the above mentioned Directors and upon very strategically focused nominations, six (6) new Directors have been elected to FMDQ’s Board, with Dr. (Mrs.) Sarah Alade, OON – Deputy Governor, Economic Policy Directorate of the Central Bank of Nigeria – as the new Chairperson.

The Management of FMDQ expresses its profound gratitude to the retiring Directors for their invaluable contributions to the achievement of the FMDQ dream and its development so far. It also heartily welcomes the new Directors to the FMDQ Board.

Similarly, Mr. Aig-Imoukhuede (the retiring Chairman) welcomes this Board of highly accomplished professionals with assurances that they will further the development of FMDQ and the achievement of its strategic objectives.

Commenting on the changes, Mr. Aig-Imoukhuede pointed out that “as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Deputy Governor, Economic Policy and a member of the Bankers’ Committee, Dr. Alade has been pivotal to the transformation of the Nigerian financial market over the years and was instrumental in promoting the FMDQ dream. Indeed, she appreciates the role of FMDQ as a tool for economic development and has made various strategic inputs to the company’s achievements. I look forward with excitement to FMDQ continuing the “GOLD” Agenda, under Dr. Alade’s visionary chairmanship.”

The new Chairperson expressed her pleasure in joining the Board of FMDQ and stated that “she has been involved with FMDQ since its inception and maintained close interaction with its leadership. Indeed, the FMDQ “GOLD” Agenda is in perfect alignment with the CBN’s financial markets vision”. She also commended the inaugural Board and the Management of FMDQ on their achievements thus far and promised that the new Board will provide the necessary leadership to FMDQ.
