Prof. Joshua Alabi has been appointed as the independent non-executive director and chairman of the GCB Bank PLC’s Board of Directors, with immediate effect.
According to a GCB press release, he stated, ““I am deeply honoured to lead GCB at this pivotal moment. Together with the board and management, we will work tirelessly to strengthen GCB’s position as a leading financial institution in Ghana and beyond,”
The announcement comes after Mr. Daniel Kwaku Tweneboah Asirifi resigned from the position.
The GCB appointment of Prof. Alabi, a former vice-chancellor of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), is contingent upon shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. The Bank of Ghana and other regulatory agencies must also provide their approval.
The former Krowor MP has held positions as Chairman of the Ghana Book Development Council, Chairman of the Accra Polytechnic Governing Council (now Accra Technical University), and Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT).
