Skye Bank\u2019s Olatunjie keeps turning up, like the bad penny.\u00a0 Is he the new Khadafy of Skye Bank.\u00a0 Why won\u2019t he just go?\u00a0 We thought he was gone for good last week, but alas, he turned up back again at Lungi on Arik Air.<\/p>\n
His ranting is beginning to resemble that of a popular afro-Arab \u2018leader\u2019, who doesn\u2019t know when the time is up for his \u2018seemingly\u2019 endless deals\u2019.<\/p>\n
News reaching our desks indicates that the erstwhile Bank Manager is expecting his boss to jet in from Nigeria on Tuesday this week, probably to sort out the impasse that has developed over the office of the managing director.<\/p>\n
Olatunjie is alleged to have ordered the newly posted MD out of \u2018his\u2019 office.\u00a0 Refusing to give up either the office or the official accommodation, Olatunjie is sitting pat, daring anyone to touch him.\u00a0 The new chap had no choice but to retreat to his hotel room at Bintumani Hotel and await further instructions.<\/p>\n
It appears the overall CEO might be able to solve the problem of this apparent miscreant during or after their annual general meeting.\u00a0 We may be in for some revelations.\u00a0 What type of power do employees have in the Ogar republic, where they can refuse to be posted or re-posted and even order the new person out of the office?<\/p>\n
Bankers have complained loudly about the fact that Olatunjie is simply giving bankers, especially Nigerian bankers, a bad name in this country.\u00a0 It is thought he has strong support from the local board, who would want to see him remain, thought they have no real solution to his multiplicity of problems.<\/p>\n
What is the position of the Bank of Sierra Leone on this guy, who seems more like a hapless manager than anything else?<\/p>\n
We read with amusement attempts by some tabloids to defend Olatunjie.\u00a0 One of them I\u2019m sure was joking when he said Olatunjie will easily find work in another bank in Nigeria, but if the bank is destroyed, it will be Sierra Leoneans who suffer loss of jobs.\u00a0 Are you actually serious?\u00a0 Have they equated Olatunjie to the bank\u2019s worth?\u00a0 Or are they saying when someone is so hopelessly incompetent, he should be left to wallow in his incompetence for the sake of our peoples\u2019 jobs?\u00a0 Well, we\u2019ve got news for you; sooner or later the cock will come home to roost.\u00a0 Those jobs will inevitably be lost because this sort of incompetence is certainly going to lead the bank into its own waterloo.<\/p>\n
Financial sector observers are watching the unfolding situation in Skye Bank Serra Leone.\u00a0 We will all be affected if the bank shuts down, for sure.\u00a0 But, I can tell you for free, we will all be affected if it does not.<\/p>\n
