The African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) named veteran executive Dr George Elombi as its next president and board chairman on Saturday, marking a leadership transition for the Cairo-based trade finance institution.
Elombi, a Cameroonian national who has spent nearly three decades at the bank, will succeed Professor Benedict Oramah in September 2025. His appointment was ratified during Afreximbank’s 32nd Annual Meetings in Abuja, Nigeria, where shareholders formally approved the board’s recommendation.
