“God has given me everything”, says Otunba Subomi Balogun at 85 vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Otunba Subomi Balogun, the founder of FCMB Group is full of gratitude as he marks 85 years in his illustrious journey on earth. “God has given me everything”, he said.Those who argue that there can be no greater treasure in life than the early understanding of purpose and its diligent pursuit have a point.
In the corporate world for example, he is the torch-bearer of the financial power house with numerous outlets, the FCMB Group. Through that alone, he has become a beacon of hope for Nigeria in the financial services sector of the economy.
Thus, began an intriguing rendezvous with investment banking, a quest that has since brought a paradigm shift in his entrepreneurial endeavours, and indeed the banking direction of the entire nation. Subomi Balogun’s elite position amongst banking moguls in the country is not without a reason, but comes from the missionary journeys he has led, and the pioneering roles he has played.
Otunba Balogun established an entrepreneurial culture at the new bank, unique as an owner managed bank in contrast to the government owned banks at the time. His business philosophy is unique and has accounted for the soaring success that FCMB has recorded since inception. Those who know say this is anchored on his human faced profit mentality, in the sense that he is a serial investor in persons, individuals, groups, institutions and the society.
