Meeky is also a major shareholder in Oceanic Bank, one of Nigeria's leading financial services providers.[1] In 2007, the total asset valuation of AmalBank was estimated at US$136 million.[2] In June 2009, it was reported in the online Ghanaian publication "Public Agenda" that the total assets of AmalBank had doubled in 2008.[3] It is therefore estimated that the total assets of the bank, as of June 2009, is approximately US$272 million.
