Mohamed Junaid, the chief executive officer of the scandal-ridden state-owned Maldives Ports Limited, has resigned in the wake of a widely publicised feud with a ruling party lawmaker.
Confirming his resignation on Tuesday night, Junaid told the Maldives Independent that he wants to focus on his personal business.
“I have to be more involved in my personal and family businesses. At the moment MPL is doing well, offloading containers is the fastest it has been ever. So it is all good. MPL has a good future,” he said.
Mohamed Nizar, president of the Privatisation and Corporatisation Board, announced Wednesday morning that Ibrahim Abdul Razzaq Haleem has been appointed as Junaid’s replacement.
