Africa’s largest mobile operator, MTN Group yesterday named Michael Ikpoki, its Ghana Chief Executive to head its key Nigerian business, in a job reshuffle sparked by the abrupt resignation of its Chief Financial Officer.

Nigeria is the second-biggest revenue earner for the Johannesburg-based MTN, which has operations in nearly two dozen countries in Africa and the Middle East.

Harvard-trained Nigerian Ikpoki, according to Reuters, is replacing Brett Goschen, who took over as CFO, after Nazir Patel resigned this week following an investigation into allegations against him.

MTN said the allegations against Patel were over governance and would not impact its financial results. It has not given any other details.

The Chief Marketing Officer for MTN’s South Africa business, Serame Taukobong, will take over as Head of Ghana.

MTN’s shares have dropped seven per cent since the announcement of Patel’s departure after close of trade on Monday.
