Prime Business Africa gathered that Sadiku was CEO of NIPC from November 2016 to September 2021.

The statement read: “At NIPC, she worked on institutional reforms aimed at proactive investment promotion and embedding a culture of governance and proactive accountability.

“She managed key relationships with regulators and several of Nigeria’s leading corporate and multinational clients. Sadiku was previously Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC’s investment banking business. 

“In her banking career, spanning 23 years, Sadiku handled assignments for clients in virtually every sector of the Nigerian economy, providing strategic financial advice while ensuring strict legal and regulatory compliance. She played an active role in the development of the Nigerian capital market.

John Coumantaros, FMN’s board chairman, expressed excitement at the appointment of the ex-NIPC boss.
