For more than 30 years, Afreximbank has stood by Africa. It has supported our trade, our investments, and our dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has financed major projects, opened new markets and built bridges between our nations. Through a range of innovations the Bank has shown the power of African cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has even reached beyond our shores to strengthen ties with our brothers and sisters in the Caribbean. But Afreximbank is more than a bank. It is a shield in times of crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When COVID struck, the Bank acted swiftly, helping countries to trade, to buy vaccines and to protect their people. When the war in Ukraine disrupted global markets, Afreximbank once again stepped in to support African trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite global challenges, the Bank achieved remarkable results. These achievements carry the mark of one man&nbsp;: Professor Benedict Oramah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dear brother, we salute you. Your leadership has inspired us. Your vision has strengthened Africa\u2019s confidence in itself.&nbsp; Your legacy will live on in the story of Afreximbank. I wish you success and happiness in all your future paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To our brother, George Elambi I say &nbsp;congratulations. You know his institution well. You carry its spirit in your heart. We trust your leadership and your dedication. May you continue this mission with strength and wisdom, as Africa advances toward a future of prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afreximbank is the mirror of an Africa that believes in African, that stands tall, that looks ahead, that builds its own destiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we honor Professor Oramah and welcome Mr. Elambi, we renew our faith in Africa\u2019s promise, and in the power of unity, trade, and shared ambition. I thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>C\u00e9r\u00e9monie Afreximbank marquant la fin du mandat du Professeur Benedict Oramah et la prise de fonction de M.

Aujourd\u2019hui est un moment sp\u00e9cial : un moment de gratitude et de transition.\u00a0 Nous faisons nos adieux au Professeur Benedict Oramah et nous accueillons M. George Elombi, qui prend la direction de cette grande institution. Depuis plus de 30 ans, Afreximbank est aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de l\u2019Afrique. Elle a soutenu notre commerce, nos investissements et nos r\u00eaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>La Banque a financ\u00e9 de grands projets, ouvert de nouveaux march\u00e9s et construit des ponts entre nos nations. \u00c0 travers une s\u00e9rie d\u2019innovations, elle a d\u00e9montr\u00e9 la force de la coop\u00e9ration africaine. Elle a m\u00eame d\u00e9pass\u00e9 nos rivages pour renforcer les liens avec nos fr\u00e8res et s\u0153urs des Cara\u00efbes. Mais Afreximbank est plus qu\u2019une banque : c\u2019est un bouclier dans les temps de crise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Lorsque la COVID-19 a frapp\u00e9, la Banque a r\u00e9agi rapidement, aidant les pays \u00e0 commercer, \u00e0 acheter des vaccins et \u00e0 prot\u00e9ger leurs populations. Quand la guerre en Ukraine a boulevers\u00e9 les march\u00e9s mondiaux, Afreximbank est de nouveau intervenue pour soutenir le commerce africain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Malgr\u00e9 les d\u00e9fis mondiaux, la Banque a obtenu des r\u00e9sultats remarquables. Ces r\u00e9ussites portent la marque d\u2019un homme : le Professeur Benedict Oramah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Cher fr\u00e8re, nous vous saluons. Votre leadership nous a inspir\u00e9s. Votre vision a renforc\u00e9 la confiance de l\u2019Afrique en elle-m\u00eame. Votre h\u00e9ritage vivra dans l\u2019histoire d\u2019Afreximbank. Je vous souhaite r\u00e9ussite et bonheur dans toutes vos futures entreprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>\u00c0 notre fr\u00e8re, M. George Elombi, j\u2019adresse toutes mes f\u00e9licitations. Vous connaissez bien cette institution. Vous en portez l\u2019esprit dans votre c\u0153ur. Nous faisons confiance \u00e0 votre leadership et \u00e0 votre d\u00e9vouement. Puissiez-vous poursuivre cette mission avec force et sagesse, alors que l\u2019Afrique avance vers un avenir prosp\u00e8re.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Afreximbank est le miroir d\u2019une Afrique qui croit en elle-m\u00eame, une Afrique debout, fi\u00e8re, qui b\u00e2tit son propre destin. Alors que nous rendons hommage au Professeur Oramah et accueillons M. Elombi, nous renouvelons notre foi dans l\u2019Afrique : foi en sa promesse, en son unit\u00e9, en son commerce et en son ambition partag\u00e9e.
