The Bush Banker

Arnold Ekpe had an unorthodox, but highly successful business career that saw him build Africa's leading bank, launch a regional airline, and much more. Today, he may be semi-retired, but he's still an active businessman, working at the intersection of impact, sustainability, and technology. Ekpe has also penned a brilliant memoir that tells his fascinating story. It's refreshingly frank, pragmatic, funny and is a must-read for anyone interested in African industry, banking, or business. What also sets apart is its ring of truth, something that comes from being written by someone who was there, an active participant alongside some of the biggest personalities during one of the most profound periods of political and industrial change the continent has ever known.
