Chief Executive Officer of EIB Network, Nathaniel Kwabena Anokye Adisi popularly known as Bola Ray has finally revealed the reason why most of his staff left. Rumors of the economic crisis at the media house following issues its’ mother company Unibank faced last year, led many speculating reasons why top media personalities left the EIB Network.
Speaking at this year’s International Youth Empowerment Summit held at the National Theatre, Bola Ray openly disclosed how he had to delay payments of salaries for 7 months in 2018.
Bola Ray further explained that people who worked with EIB and could not bear with the challenges that came with salary delays used different excuses to leave for other jobs.
According to him, out of 483 staff members of the EIB Network, over 100 left and about 300 staff members are still working for the company nationwide.
