Former senior executive of CIG Motors, Jubril Arogundade, has publicly denied claims that he was dismissed from the company, offering a detailed clarification about his voluntary resignation.

In a statement released yesterday, Arogundade strongly refuted the reports suggesting that he was terminated from his role, stating that his exit was in accordance with his contractual obligations and the company’s internal processes. He confirmed that he resigned on December 2, 2025, with a formal notice and a clear exit timeline that was duly acknowledged by CIG Motors’ management.

Arogundade emphasized that his departure was not a result of any disciplinary action or termination. He further clarified that media reports portraying his exit as a dismissal were both incorrect and misleading.

Clarification of Events

“I resigned from CIG Motors after careful consideration and in line with due process,” Arogundade explained. “Any attempt to suggest that my exit was a termination is misleading and unfortunate. I am committed to transparency, and safeguarding my personal and professional integrity.”

He rejected allegations of wrongdoing, welcoming any legal review of his time with the company and his conduct. Arogundade expressed that his decision to leave was driven by internal considerations and a commitment to professional and governance standards. He also made it clear that his resignation was not prompted by any conflict or misconduct.

Arogundade’s Legacy at CIG Motors

Arogundade, whose professional reputation has been a cornerstone of his career, emphasized the importance of truth and integrity in public matters.
