The Bank Directors Association of Nigeria (BDAN) has announced the appointment of Dr. Oluwayemisi Olorunshola as the new Chairman of its Board of Directors following the retirement of Mr. Mustafa Chike-Obi, who has completed his tenure.
In a statement, BDAN said Dr. Olorunshola currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of Wema Bank Plc and brings more than 25 years of combined experience in supply chain management, business leadership and corporate governance to the position.
According to the Association, she has more than 15 years’ experience in a multinational organisation and over a decade as a business manager.
Her expertise spans business and production planning, procurement, distribution, import and export operations, and logistics services.
Dr. Olorunshola was appointed to the BDAN Board in January 2023 and has since shown strong commitment to the Association’s mandate of strengthening bank governance and promoting sustainable leadership within Nigeria’s banking sector.
She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Education and Economics from Obafemi Awolowo University, an MBA from the University of Liverpool, and a Doctor of Business Administration from Walden University.
A strong advocate of education and sustainable enterprise, she authored a widely referenced publication on small business sustainability strategies, published in the Journal of Functional Education and indexed on ProQuest and Academia.edu. Her work has been cited by several scholars in business sustainability.
Commenting on the appointment, BDAN Chief Executive Officer, Adebukola Orenuga, described Dr. Olorunshola as a principled and accomplished leader with significant board and business experience, expressing confidence that under her leadership, the Association will deepen its strategic impact and continue to promote the interests of bank directors and banks in Nigeria.
