By Daniel Edu

ABUJA — President Bola Tinubu has given his approval for the appointment of Dr. Olasupo Olusi as the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank of Industry (BOI). Dr. Olusi will serve a term of four (4) years in the first instance, according to a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale. This appointment comes following the voluntary resignation of the former BOI Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Olukayode Pitan.

Dr. Olasupo Olusi brings to this role a wealth of experience, having served as a World Bank economist and development finance expert for over two decades. He held the position of economic adviser to the then Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance from 2011 to 2015. Dr. Olusi is an alumnus of Hull University, United Kingdom, and has earned both a Master’s degree in International Money, Finance, and Investment, as well as a Doctorate in Finance & Economics from Durham University, United Kingdom, in 2005.

The President has charged the new Chief Executive of BOI with the responsibility of ensuring that Nigerians engaged in enterprises of all sizes and across various sectors receive fair and equitable access to the crucial support needed to enhance employment opportunities and wealth creation among income groups in the country, with particular emphasis on lower and middle-income enterprise operators.
