Africa\u2019s largest mobile operator MTN Group on Wednesday named its Ghana chief executive,\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Michael Ikpoki, to head up its key Nigerian business, in a job reshuffle sparked by the abrupt resignation of its chief financial officer.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Nigeria is the second-biggest revenue earner for Johannesburg-based MTN, which has operations in nearly two dozen countries in Africa and the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Harvard-trained Ikpoki is replacing Brett Goschen, who took over as CFO after Nazir Patel resigned this week following an investigation into allegations against him.<\/p>\n

The company has said the allegations against Patel were over governance and would not impact its financial results. It has not given any other details.<\/p>\n

Serame Taukobong, chief marketing officer for MTN\u2019s South Africa business, will take over as head of Ghana.<\/p>\n

MTN\u2019s shares have dropped 7 percent since the announcement of Patel\u2019s departure after close of trade on Monday.<\/p>\n
