that Dr. Oramah’s investiture would be preceded on Sunday, by the inauguration
of the bank’s headquarters building, which will be performed by a high-level
representative of the Egyptian government.
The ceremony will be
witnessed by high level representatives from Nigeria and Cote d’Ivoire, who
will be joined by key ministers from several other African countries, as well
as by a host of other dignitaries from within and outside Africa, including
central bank governors, political leaders, business leaders, trade experts and
academics.

Zambia and Chairman of the General Meeting of Shareholders of the Afreximbank, Alexander Chikwanda, will perform Dr. Oramah’s
investiture as the new President of the bank. Dr. Oramah will take over the
running of Afreximbank from Jean-Louis

President. Ekra first took office in 2005.
