THE BOARD of UMB has announced the departure of its chief executive officer, John Awuah, after four years of service to the bank.
The board did not specify what led to the resignation of Mr Awuah especially at a time when the Bank of Ghana had succeeded in tightening the weakness that bedeviled Ghana’s banking sector.
Again no mention was made of his next destination.
According to a statement by the board, Mr Awuah joined UMB and has over the years initiated and championed successful strategies with the private sector as well as partnered the public sector on initiatives for the development of the country.
Some of the projects include the launch of the UMB PPP Centre, and the growth of the Small and Medium Scale Enterprises in Ghana through the UMB Centre for Businesses.
Under his leadership, the bank introduced more branches and innovative products to meet its ever growing customer base.
“Mr. Awuah has built a strong foundation for the present and future growth of UMB and the bank will continue to execute these laudable initiatives.”
