Olatunde Ayeni, Skye Bank
Chairman of Skye Bank Plc. and NATCOM, Dr. Olatunde Ayeni has dismissed speculations that he has interest in Auctus Integrated, an oil company following speculations in some sections of the media.
Auctus Integrated is one of the companies mentioned in the $115 million bribery scam which was paid into Fidelity Bank Plc. at the instance of the former Minister of Petroleum resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison–Madueke.
In a press statement signed by Ademola Adedoyin, Special Adviser, Corporate Communications to Dr. Olatunde Ayeni, the link with Auctus Integrated was described as “unfounded and without an iota of truth.”
“Following persistent inquiries from a section of the media, we deem it fit to lay this speculation to permanent rest as our Chairman, Dr. Olatunde Ayeni, CON, has no interest whatsoever and has no link in whatever capacity with the said Auctus Integrated.”
“The attempt to link the Chairman’s name to the $115 million dollar slush fund with Fidelity Bank is not only mischievous but disingenuous handiwork of adversaries who will stop at nothing to concoct stories no matter how ridiculous about our chairman.”
“For the avoidance of doubt, we need to state it again that Dr. Ayeni is a law abiding and patriotic entrepreneur who continues to contribute to the growth of this economy and who, through business acumen and initiatives, continues to create employment opportunities to hundreds of Nigerians in the Finance, Telecommunications, Oil & Gas, Maritime and Real Estate Sectors, among others of our economy.”
“In spite of the mischief of these adversaries, Dr. Ayeni remains committed to this economy and shall continually do everything ethical and within the law to contribute his quota to its growth.”
