The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Renmoney Microfinance Bank Limited, Oluwatobi Boshoro, has resigned from her position just 10 months after her appointment.
The company’s Chairman, Kieran Donnelly, has also stepped down from the role.
Renmoney did not disclose the reason for Boshoro’s resignation which came as a surprise to many staff of the organisation, as she took the reins in November last year.
The MD’s resignation was disclosed in a statement signed by the company Secretary, Igbiwi Erhahon, on Tuesday.

According to the statement, the Chairman will step down from his position to serve as acting CEO pending the appointment of a substantive managing director.

The centres would enable customers to complete end-to-end transactions at their convenience.
Since its establishment, Renmoney has provided over 200,000 loans to individuals and small businesses in Nigeria, with over N50 billion provided to 140,000 customers. The company has over N170 billion in Fixed Deposit inflows.
