NBC Tanzania has appointed Mr Pius Tibazarwa as Interim Managing Director of the bank to succeed Ms Mizinga Melu who has been assigned a new role as Chief Executive Officer of Barclays Africa Regional Management.
The NBC Board Chairman Dr Mussa Assad said in Dar es Salaam that the outgoing NBC Managing Director has built a strong team which is truly transforming the bank’s business.
“As Managing Director of NBC Tanzania, Mizinga is leaving the business in a much stronger position from where the team will continue to build on under Pius’s leadership.
I wish Pius and Mizinga both well in their new endeavours,” he said. NBC Tanzania is a subsidiary of Johannesburg listed Barclays Africa Group Limited.

Pius will report to Mizinga in her new role as Chief Executive of Barclays Africa Regional Management, as will the country Managing Directors of all BAGL’s businesses outside South Africa.
