BUSINESS:Two Oando Directors Resign As Crisis Deepens

Oando Plc has notified the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), its shareholders,
stakeholders and members of the public of the resignation of two non-executive
directors, Sena Anthony and Oghogho Akpata, from its board, Igbere TV
reports.
Their resignation according to what Igbere Tv learnt, comes amidst clampdown
on the company by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
According to a statement on NSE website, their resignation became effective
from June 3.
“Chief Sena Anthony and Mr. Oghogho Akpata were active members of the
board and its sub-committees. The board and management of Oando Plc
appreciates their valuable contributions to the growth of the company,” Oando
said in the three-paragraph statement.
SEC had last Friday announced the removal of the company’s Group Chief
Executive Officer, Wale Tinubu, and his deputy, Omamofe Boyo.
It also barred them from holding director positions in public companies for a
minimum of five years.
After sacking Messrs Tinubu and Boyo, SEC set up an interim management to
be headed by Mutiu Sunmonu.
The commission said the management would oversee the affairs of Oando Plc
and conduct an Extra Ordinary General Meeting on or before July 1, 2019.
However, Tinubu and Boyo have secured a court order asking all parties to
maintain status quo.
Justice Mojisola Olatoregun of the Federal High Court in Lagos ordered SEC and
Mr Sunmonu to maintain status quo pending determination of the motion on
notice.
She also ordered that the order be served on the commission along with the
motion on notice, and other processes.

This Vindictive Government Has Used And Dumped Emir Sanusi

T emidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos Yinka Odumakin, National Publicity Secretary of Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, on Tuesday said deposed Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi must have crossed some political lines under the All Progressives Congress (APC). Speaking in a chat with DAILY INDEPENDENT, Odumakin said Sanusi as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) lied about missing money during the Goodluck Jonathan so as to force a regime change that ushered in the Buhari administration. “I have no strong views on his dethronement as there are more pressing important issues that should engage our attention ranging from insecurity to falling oil prices. Sanusi was a CBN Governor who turned the office to a personal one aid donating public money like a Donatus all over the place.
