A new Group Chief Chief Finance Officer has been appointed for United Capital Plc, a financial and investment services company in Nigeria.
He is Mr Shedrack Onakpoma, who replaced the former occupier of the same position, Mrs Odiri Oginni.
Mr Oginni resigned her appointment as the Group CFO of United Capital, which forced the search for a new person.
A statement issued by United Capital said Mr Onakpoma was chosen to take over the position with effect from Tuesday, January 15, 2019.
No reason was given for the resignation of Mrs Oginni, but it is believed that Mr Onakpoma was picked to replace her because he is capable of doing a good job.
“United Capital wishes to inform the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) and the company’s esteemed shareholders of the appointment of Mr Shedrack Onakpoma as the Group Chief Finance Officer.
“The appointment was necessitated as a result of the resignation of Mrs Odiri Oginni, the Group Finance Officer. This appointment was effective on January 15, 2019,” the statement from the firm said.
