Nigeria’s foremost financial service group and holdings company, FBN Holdings Plc, has announced that it recently won the 2019 Best Corporate Governance in Nigeria Award by World Finance.
The event, which was held recently in the London Stock Exchange studio, was organised to provide a comprehensive analysis of the very best across various areas of business endeavours in each market around the world.
Receiving the award on behalf of FBNHoldings, its Group Managing Director, UK Eke, in a statement said, “receiving this award from World Finance basically tells us two things. One, it’s an affirmation of what we are doing in corporate governance, beyond the giant strides we’re making in financial performance.
