President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has praised Dr. Adesola Adeduntan, the recently retired Group CEO of First Bank Nigeria Limited, for his exceptional leadership during his nine-year tenure.
Marking the bank’s 130th anniversary, First Bank will honor Adeduntan with a send-off ceremony this weekend.
Under Adeduntan’s leadership, First Bank achieved substantial growth, expanding its customer base from 10 million in 2015 to over 42 million in 2023.
President Tinubu commended these achievements as a testament to Adeduntan’s commitment and strategic vision, which strengthened Nigeria’s oldest bank.
In a statement from his Special Adviser, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu recognized Adeduntan’s contributions to the Nigerian economy, including his role in the Nigerian Economic Summit Group, which helped shape the nation’s economic framework. The President also praised First Bank’s strong internal management, which enabled a smooth leadership transition to the new CEO, Olusegun Alebiosu. Tinubu extended his best wishes to Adeduntan, acknowledging his readiness to continue serving Nigeria in impactful ways.
