Chairman of the Board of Investment (BOI) Upul Jayasuriya has tendered his resignation.

The former BOI Chairman told reporters he has resigned for ‘personal’ reasons.

Media reports last week had highlighted irregularities with a project to build a ‘super skyscraper’ in Sri Lanka.

The company at the centre of the controversy – the Al Aman World Capital Centre (WCC) – seemingly does not exist and was dissolved on March 14, 2017.  

Upul Jayasuriya, as the BOI Chairman had reportedly sanctioned the project by signing a USD 2 billion agreement.
