NIB deputy managing director takes over as new MD

 The Deputy Managing Director of the National Investment Bank (NIB), Mr Tweneboa Kodua Fokuo, has been appointed as the new managing director of the Bank.

Having served the bank since 2019, Mr Fokuo is taking over at a time when the Bank is to receive its capitalization.

Mr Fokuo has been instrumental in the turn-around journey of the NIB and has specifically been in charge of risk management and operations.

He joined the bank in 2019, a time when NIB needed the full implementation of an Enterprise Risk Model (ERM) to kickstart its transformational journey.

Under his leadership, the NIB has seen the significant execution of the ERM Model and the introduction of best governance practices.

This has created the necessary controlled environment required for sound banking. Again, Mr Fokuo’s involvement has revamped NIB’s operations to ensure resilience and the application of standard guidelines for rigor and efficiency.

As such, his appointment as the Managing Director has been received with excitement by many, especially the staff of the bank, because it is certain that Mr. Fokuo will chart the bank’s path in a new and better direction.
