Emmanuel OchayiPresident Bola Tinubu has appointed Dr. Olasupo Olusi as the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank of Industry (BoI) for a four-year term.
The decision, announced by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, signifies a commitment to bolstering Nigeria’s economic landscape.
President Bola Tinubu’s approval of Olusi’s appointment comes after the voluntary resignation of the previous BoI MD and CEO, Mr. Olukayode Pitan.
Olusi’s background as a World Bank economist and development finance expert, with over two decades of experience, adds a new dimension to this appointment.
Olusi’s credentials, including his tenure as the Economic Adviser to the Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, between 2011 and 2015, further underlines his suitability for this crucial role.
His academic journey, from Hull University to earning a Master’s degree in International Money, Finance, and Investment, and later a doctorate in Finance and Economics from Durham University, highlights his dedication to economic growth.
The President’s directive to the new BoI Chief Executive is clear: ensure that all Nigerian entrepreneurs, regardless of their enterprise’s size or sector, have equal access to the support they need.
The focus on employment generation and wealth creation, especially among lower- and middle-income enterprise operators, is set to pave the way for a more inclusive and prosperous Nigerian economy.
