Ecobank Nigeria has appointed Mr. Adebiyi Olagbami as an Executive Director and Chief Risk Officer of the bank effective November 15, 2017, to bring his 25 years banking experience with over 21 years in risk management to bear.

Head, Consumer Distribution, Tunde Kuponiyi, said the review was a deliberate effort to meet and cater for customers’ expectations, saying it would further ease the burden of customers making purchases outside the country.

Ecobank Nigeria has appointed Mr. Adebiyi Olagbami as an Executive Director and Chief Risk Officer of the bank effective November 15, 2017, to bring his 25 years banking experience with over 21 years in risk management to bear.

The Managing Director, Ecobank Nigeria, Charles Kie, said this appointment is in furtherance of the bank’s repositioning strategy and the enhancement of the risk function in the Bank.
 
The bank, he said, remains fully focused on its strategic objective to be one of top three banks in Nigeria within the next five years.

 
Kie explained that Ecobank continues to realign its workforce to meet its business expectations across all cadres, just as it recently appointed Mr. Akin Dada as Executive Director, Corporate Banking and Carol Oyedeji, Executive Director Consumer Banking.
 
Prior to Olagbami’s new appointment, he was Chief Credit Officer of Union Bank Nigeria Plc and has worked as Chief Risk Officer with Fidelity Bank Ghana; Chief Risk and Compliance Officer with Keystone Bank Limited (then Bank PHB);  Head of Credit with Stanbic IBTC Bank Plc; and briefly as Group Market Risk Manager of Access Bank Plc.

Olagbami’s earlier banking career was with Citigroup, where he held various positions, including Country Risk Manager (Central Africa); Risk Manager (Egypt); Country Portfolio Manager; Senior Risk and Business Analyst, among others.

He holds BSc and MSc degrees in Architecture from the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. Mr Olagbami is an MBA alumnus from the IESE (University of Navara), Spain.
