It is the dawn of a new era for Keystone Bank, a top player in the Nigerian banking sector.
As part of a broader strategy to ensure sustained growth for Keystone Bank, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has approved a new chairman and board of directors for the financial institution.
The new board consists of a new board chairman, five non-executive directors, and two new directors, all carefully selected to take the bank to new heights.
The apex bank confirmed the latest development via a statement on Wednesday.
Steering the ship of leadership is Lady Ada Chukwudozie, as the new board chairman.
Lady Ada Chukwudozie, brings with her a truckload of experience.
A prominent figure in Nigeria’s corporate sector, Ada has nearly three decades of experience in business strategy, management, and administration.
Her expertise cuts across multiple industries, including De-Endy Industrial Company Limited, Dozzy Group, the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, and Vogue Afrique Magazine.
Indeed, to whom much is given, much is expected.
With her extensive background and experience, Ada will now shoulder the responsibility of guiding the bank toward achieving its long-term goals.
The good news is that she is not alone. Joining her on the board are five non-executive directors, each bringing their unique skills to the table.
The five non-executive directors are Abdul-Rahman Esene, Mrs. Fola Akande, Akintola Ayodeji Olusoji, Obijiaku Samuel, and Senator Farouk Bello.
Together, they will play a critical role in shaping the future of the bank.
Furthermore, two new executive directors, Ladi Oluwole and Abubakar Usman Bello were also confirmed by the CBN.
Meanwhile, Keystone Bank’s Managing Director and CEO, Hassan Imam, bragged about his confidence in the new team.
To him, he was certain they would drive the bank’s growth and ensure reliable service for customers.
Imam noted that their wealth of experience would play a crucial role in the bank’s continued repositioning and growth.
His words: “We are pleased to welcome the new chairman, non-executive directors, and executive directors to the board of Keystone Bank.
We are confident that their extensive experience will be invaluable as we continue to reposition the bank to seize emerging economic opportunities while maintaining strong corporate governance and providing our customers with a secure and reliable banking experience,” Imam concluded.
Recall that in January, the CBN dissolved the board and management of Union Bank, Keystone Bank, and Polaris Bank.
