In recognition of the Bank of Industry’s support for the
nation’s development and commitment of its board to the vision and agenda on
industrialisation, the African Banker magazine has conferred the 2017 African
Banker Icon award on BoI’s Acting Managing Director, Waheed Olagunju.
According to the organisers of the award, the ‘Icon’
category is awarded to an individual or institution for their outstanding
contribution in the field of business, banking and finance.
The organisers explained that the awardees were chosen by
the awards committee, who had noted excellence in their area of expertise and
for their work in helping to change the perception of Africa as well as
contributing to the establishment of best global practice in the continent.
“In according you this accolade, the Committee has
highlighted your leadership and tireless work at the Bank of Industry over the
years. You have played an invaluable role during a period when the bank
expanded its activities and which saw significant improvement in the overall
performance of its activities.
“Your loyalty and your dedication to the cause have not gone
unnoticed. You have been a champion of the missing middle, that industrial
heartland we hear so much about but who are often ignored by other financial
institutions and yet critical to the continent’s growth and development.
“Last but not least, the African Banker Awards Committee
commends your personal integrity and your work to promote Nigeria and African
SMEs in both African and international circles.’’
