This according to public notice signed by Teddy Foday-Musa, Secretary General FBC Alumni, and endorsed by Gloria Kabbah-Bayoh, Vice President FBC Alumni.

It could recalled that Umaru Fofana officially resigned as president of the association on 22 October 2022, a position he has held since 2016. His resignation was accepted and engagements have been ongoing for his replacement to avoid a power vacuum.

“This notice is to officially inform our Alumni Community that the immediate past president of FBC Alumni – Dr. Kishore Shankerdas has gracefully accepted to serve in an acting capacity as FBC Alumni President for a short period,” the association stated.

“Congratulations, Dr. Shankerdas. We thank you for accepting our request at such a difficult moment for the Association,” they added.

Dr Shankerdas is the current Shankerdas family member holding the Managing Director (MD) position, inheriting a role that had been held by his father previously and his grandfather initially.

He attained his primary and secondary education at the St Anthony Primary School and St Edwards’s Secondary School respectively, before studying at Fourah Bay College.
