Claude Ayo-Iguendha, Director and CEO of the International Bank for Trade and Industry (BICIG), a subsidiary of the National Bank of Paris (BNP / Parisbas) died in Libreville Thursday.
Claude Ayo-Iguendha was undoubtedly one of the most experienced bosses in the Gabonese banking sector. Which probably earned him the end of 2011, the presidency of the sovereign fund of the Gabonese Republic (FSRG), the former Sovereign Fund for future generations.
Mr. Ayo has led several state-owned companies, from the now defunct national airline Air Gabon to the Gabonese Development Bank, and the National Trucking and Transit Company. Director-General of the International Bank for Trade and Industry of Gabon (BNP Paribas) since 2002, he was to claim his rights to retirement in 2010. But the one who was decorated, in May 2011, the Knight’s badge of the Legion of Honor by the French Ambassador to Gabon, is maintained at his post pending the appointment of his successor.
While he was claiming his pension rights since 2010, Claude Ayo Iguendha, the managing director of the International Bank for Trade and Industry of Gabon (BICIG), a subsidiary of the National Bank of Paris (BNP Paribas) has been confirmed in office, until Paris finds a successor.
Regarding his longevity at the head of BICIG, Ayo Iguendha said in an interview: that his contract was extended by the National Bank of Paris (BNP Paribas). Since then, several Gabonese contenders have come forward to replace him.
“As long as my physical abilities allow me, I will keep my position until Paris designates a successor with the necessary qualification and confidence required by the headquarters of BNP Paribas,” he said.
