Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) was established on the 19th July 2010, when former President Goodluck Jonathan signed the AMCON Act into Law.
On its website, AMCON says it was created to be a key stabilizing and re-vitalizing tool established to revive the financial system by efficiently resolving the non-performing loan assets of the banks in the Nigerian economy.
The Chke-Obi led board was approved by the Senate in November 2010. The other members swept out today included are Mofoluke Benedicta Dosumu, Abbas Mohammed Jega and Mr. Hewett Adegboyega Benson.
