In a rather interesting turn of events the former MD of Zenith Bank, Daniel Asiedu, has been appointed as the new Managing Director of Agricultural Development Bank (ADB).<\/p>\n

Daniel Asiedu’s appointment takes effect on March, 1st,2016.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”QtDfM69EKACgFpqT871IyuYX7BNzBtnB”]Daniel Asiedu retired from Zenith Bank a few days back after being at the helm of affairs for 6 years having being appointed MD of that bank in 2010.<\/p>\n

He takes over from Stephen Kpordzih who resigned from the bank on January 11, 2016.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Stephen\u00a0Kpordzih’s adb debacle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prior to Mr. Kpordzih’s exit from adb, there has\u00a0been massive opposition to his continuous stay in office by the bank\u2019s workers\u2019 union, accusing him of mismanaging the bank.<\/p>\n

They subsequently called for his resignation and the dissolution of the bank\u2019s board.<\/p>\n

The workers accused the MD and the board of selling the bank\u2019s head office for $10 million only to rent a facility at the cost of GHC1 million a month.<\/p>\n

He was also heavily criticized\u00a0over moves by the bank to launch its Initial Public Offer (IPO).<\/p>\n

The launch was\u00a0\u00a0put on hold several times following a number of law suits filed against the bank over the decision to launch an IPO without parliamentary approval.<\/p>\n

The last suit that was filed against the launch of the offer was by the Member of Parliament for New Juaben South, Mark Assibey Yeboah, but was later withdrawn.<\/p>\n

The IPO took off late last year and is expected to end in February.\u00a0The bank was also hit with a number of court cases last year following the dismissal of a number of workers.<\/p>\n

Challenges for new MD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daniel Asiedu would have to manage\u00a0these challenges and others in the coming months.\u00a0He is reputed to have built a solid bank while in office at Zenith Bank.<\/p>\n

Daniel Asiedu is a Chartered Accountant by profession. He holds a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria and an Executive Masters degree in Business Administration (Finance Option) from the University of Ghana.<\/p>\n

During his tenure at Zenith bank he was awarded the Outstanding Role Model Award as well as the exceptional Leadership Award.<\/p>\n
