In the media: Book review in The New African by Anver Versi

The sub-heading for this book is: Buying a bank in Africa; it tells the fascinating story of how the author, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and his trusty deputy, Herbert Wigwe left their cushy and very prestigious jobs as Executive Directors of Nigeria’s highest-ranked bank, Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB), and set out into the unknown, driven by little more than a burning desire to be masters of their own destiny.

They had decided to plunge into what was then perhaps the most chaotic and treacherous banking industry in Africa, if not the world, and buy a bank. This book is a chronicle of that adventure and how they turned a bank that was on its last legs into one of the top five banking institutions in the country over an incredibly short space of time.
