NEXIM is an export credit agency in Nigeria, established in 1991.
In its function, NEXIM focuses on the development and expansion of the non-oil sectors of the Nigerian economy, with a view to reducing the country's over-reliance on oil exports.
In a report by the Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, it was revealed that Okotete fraudulently misrepresented her qualification to hold the post of Executive Director at the bank.
Thirteen of which must be in active banking service and two of such years as General Manager.
“Following from the above observation, the Committee wishes to recommend as follows: that since Stella Okotete didn’t meet the 18 years post-graduation qualification requirement to assume office as Executive Director at NEXIM or any other Bank for that matter, she be directed to vacate that office with immediate effect,” the report by the committee read.
Meanwhile, despite the recommendation, some power brokers ensured that the report never saw the light of the day, SaharaReporters learnt.
“She was even included in the Tinubu and All Progressives Congress presidential campaign council,” another source added.
