Six women are now managing directors of banks, a development that pushes against decades of male dominance in the sector.
For Nigerian banks, 2021 seems to be a year of positive change as more women are taking key positions in various management teams.
Nigeria’s corporate space is largely male-dominated, but the banking sector saw progress in boardroom gender diversity when Bola Kuforiji-Olubi was appointed the first woman to chair the board of a bank, United Bank for Africa , in 1984. “Having women as the CEOs or representatives will make other women feel safe in the workplace,” she argued.
She holds a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka and a Master of Laws degree from King’s College, London. She has attended executive training programmes at global institutions including Harvard Business School, Wharton School University of Pennsylvania, INSEAD School of Business, Chicago Booth School of Business and London Business School.Miriam Olusanya was appointed the managing director of Guaranty Trust Bank on July 14, 2021.
