President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Dr. Olasupo Olusi as the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank of Industry.
This was disclosed on Thursday by the Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity, Chief Ajuri Ngelale.
Olusi’s appointment comes on the heels of the voluntary resignation of the former BOI Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Olukayode Pitan.
According to Ngelale, Olusi brings a wealth of experience to his new role. Having served as a World Bank economist and development finance expert for over two decades, his qualifications and accomplishments are noteworthy.
“Notably, from 2011 to 2015, Dr. Olusi served as the economic adviser to the Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance.
“His educational background is equally impressive, having graduated from Hull University, United Kingdom, and obtained a master’s degree in International Money, Finance, and Investment. Furthermore, in 2005, he received his Doctorate in Finance and Economics from Durham University, United Kingdom.”
He also revealed that the President’s directive to the newly appointed CEO of BOI is clear: prioritize ensuring that Nigerians, spanning all types of enterprises and industries, gain equitable access to essential support.”
