Career history
I did my NYSC with Societe Generale Bank, Apapa branch, and was offered employment as a Customer Relations officer at the end of my service year due to my meritorious performance during the service year. While at the bank, I was appointed as Head of credit and marketing to open a new branch at Oke-Arin market with the sole responsibility of winning new customers. Due to my sterling performance, I was promoted to Branch Operations Manager. Several customers within the market moved their business accounts to my branch from other banks because of the quick processing of their credit needs. In view of my performance, I was invited by the Management of Global Bank to improve the fortunes of its Oke-Arin branch as Consumers Relation Manager in 2021.
A year later, I was transferred to the corporate branch of Global Bank in Abuja as a Relationship Manager. Two years later, I was moved back to Global Bank Head office as Head, Credit and Marketing Department. In 2005, the bank merged with Intercontinental Bank Plc. In 2008, I was promoted and made branch manager of International Bank, Broad Street branch, Lagos. Later, I was moved to Lagos mainland as Regional Head, Special Assets/Debt recovery. Due to a crisis in the banking industry in late 2009, I left the banking industry in 2010 and ventured into the Real Estate business.
In 2014, the Osun State Government appointed me as the General Manager/CEO of the newly-established Micro Credit Agency as with a seed capital of N2.1b. By September 2020, I had grown this amount to N4. 6b before I left the Agency for Ogun-Osun River Basin Development Authority as Executive Director, Finance and Administration, an appointment by the Presidency under the Federal Ministry of Water Resources where I am till date.
