Wema Bank gets new MD
Wema Bank’s board has appointed Moruf Oseni, the bank’s deputy managing director, as its new chief executive.
The development followed the imminent retirement of the current CEO Ademola Adebise, who exits the bank at the end of the first quarter of 2023.
Wole Akinleye, an executive director, will fill the void Mr Oseni will be leaving by taking up the deputy managing editor’s role.
On 2 January, 2023, Mr Adebise will commence a terminal leave, the culmination of his 13-year service to the bank. Under his stewardship, Wema Bank’s asset base grew by 155 per cent to over N1.2 trillion, and its deposits by 214 per cent to N1.1 trillion.
“He initiated the partnership with Bank of Africa to support its customers across the African continent which has increased the Bank’s market share and customer base. All these led to an additional growth of 2 million customer accounts in Nigeria and a market share of 3% of industry volumes,” the bank said in the statement.
“The bank is now the leading collection bank for state and government agencies due to its effective and efficient platform.”
