Mr. Olu Akanmu, the Chief Marketing Officer of one of the leading telecommunication industries in the country, Airtel Nigeria, has resigned his appointment with the company to pursue other interests.

This was conveyed in a statement issued by the company and signed by the Vice President, Corporate Communications & CSR, Emeka Oparah, on Thursday. The statement was made available to DailyPost.

It reads in part, “Mr. Olu Akanmu, the Chief Marketing Officer of
Airtel Networks Limited, has resigned his
appointment with the company to pursue other interests-with effect from Wednesday, May 22, 2013.

“Mr. Akanmu led the marketing function at a crucial time in the life of our organization and brought his over two decades of marketing experience and a
rich knowledge of the telecommunications market to bear on his role as our CMO.”

However, the company did not state why Akanmu, believed to be at the core of the company’s soaring image, suddenly resigned his appointment.

The statement by Airtel said a replacement would be “announced shortly.”
