National Bank board dissolves again

Staff Reporter :
The Bangladesh Bank has once again dissolved the National Bank board on Sunday.
Sources said, the central bank has formed a new board of directors with ten members, headed by the new Chairman Khalilur Rahman, the bank’s sponsor director.
The board excludes the bank’s late founder Zainul Haque Sikder’s wife Monowara Sikder, and sons Rick Haque Sikder and Ron Haque Sikder.
The central bank sent a letter to the managing director of National Bank informing dissolving of the bank’s existing board of directors.
Bangladesh Bank’s spokesperson Mezbaul Haque said the move was adopted for the purpose of strengthening the bank’s board of directors.
Earlier in 2023, the central bank ordered the dissolution of the board of National Bank and formed a new board.
Then Syed Ferhat Anwar was made the new chairman. He was a former professor of the Institute of Business Administration under Dhaka University.
