Access Bank’s country manager for Kenya and East Africa managing director Samuel Addae Minta exits the lender amidst the ongoing acquisition of the National Bank of Kenya (NBK) by Access Bank.
His departure comes during a critical period as the Nigerian bank awaits regulatory approvals from both the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to complete the Ksh 13.3 billion buyout deal.
Access Bank had previously acquired Transnational Bank PLC in 2020.

Mr. Minta’s tenure also saw Access Bank attempt to acquire Sidian Bank from Centum Investment Company in 2022 but the deal failed due to unmet conditions.
