A new chairman, Emmanuel Nnorom, forTranscorp Hotels Plc, was also named by the board. He takes over from Abdulqadir Bello who has retired.

“We are pleased to have the diversity, depth and quality of experience that these directors bring to our group.  The executive appointments are a testament to our internal succession capacity and the appointees will build on the achievement of their predecessors.  By these appointments, we have further deepened our corporate governance capabilities, and firmed up our leadership position in the sectors we invest in,” he said.

 

Elumelu thanked the retiring directors for their meritorious service to the group over the years, adding that the board of Transcorp will continue to implement its defined strategy, which has led its investee companies being leaders in their industries and to take the group to the next level.
