    Fidelity Bank Plc has announced its Board of Directors’ decision to extend the employment contract of Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe, its GMD/CEO, from 2024 to 2026.

    The decision was taken at the board’s meeting on February 12, 2024, according to a notice at the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX).

    The extension is in furtherance of the bank’s strategic objectives and premised on Onyeali-Ikpe’s sterling performance since assumption office on January 1, 2021.

    Born July 28, 1964, Nneka Onyeali-Ikpe is the first female managing director and chief executive officer of Fidelity Bank Nigeria.

    She has a law degree from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. She also has a master’s degree in Law from King’s College London.

    In 1990, she began working in banking as a legal officer for the now-defunct African Continental Bank. She subsequently worked as a treasury officer for the First African Trust Bank.

    She later joined Zenith Bank and Standard Chartered Bank respectively.

    In 2011, she joined Enterprise Bank as an executive director of the bank’s operations in Lagos and other locations in the South-Western region in Nigeria.
