President Bola Tinubu has appointed Rotimi Akinde and Ifeoma Uz’Okpala as Executive Directors, Corporate Finance & Risk Management, and Executive Director of the Large Enterprises Directorate respectively to the Bank of Industry (BOI).

Akinde is a finance professional with over 20 years of Investment and Corporate Banking experience and an extensive track record covering capital raising (Debt, Equities, and Hybrid) and Corporate Finance (Mergers & Acquisitions, Privatization Advisory, and Project Finance).

Before joining the Bank of Industry, he was an Associate Partner, Project & Corporate Finance at Infrastructure Delivery International (IDI), where he worked on the UKNIAF programme and promoted green finance as well as structured debt solutions for sub-nationals.

He was an Assistant Manager at Leadbank Plc., within both the Investment and Corporate Banking Groups.

Similarly, Uz’Okpala joined BOI in September 2014 as Group Head of Large Enterprises Credit and later served as the Bank’s Chief Risk Officer before her appointment.

As Chief Risk Officer of the Bank, she played a crucial role in managing and mitigating risks associated with the bank’s operations, while also providing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) risk support.

She offered invaluable ESG support within transactions and provided the roadmap for attracting impact investments.

Uz’Okpala is a seasoned Credit and Risk Management Professional, with a career spanning over 30 years in the financial sector.
