Having served the Nigerian Stock Exchange meritoriously as General Manager, Strategy and Business Development for almost five years, I resigned on the 26th of August 2010. My resignation was accepted by the Nigerian Stock Exchange via a letter dated 26th August, 2010.

 

Following my resignation, I agreed with the interim administrator and followed this up with a confirmatory email to the head of HR that I will return to my office between Friday the 27th and Tuesday the 31st of August 2010 to remove all my personal effects and equipment.

 

I went to my office as agreed on the 31st to remove my belongings and equipment and I was asked to verify what I was going to remove after which the matter assumed an unnecessary and complicated dimension.

 

The police were thereafter invited and after being thoroughly manhandled and following various searches – absolutely nothing untoward and incriminating was found and I was eventually left alone.

 

I remain steadfast in my conviction that the NSE is a great institution for the benefit of all Nigerians, and more important than any individual to which we all owe a duty to maintain its integrity. This continues to guide my actions, in spite of the little misunderstanding that ensued.
