FCMB Group Plc has announced the appointment of Adepeju Adebajo as an independent non-executive director, a strategic board-level move aimed at reinforcing governance standards, operational resilience, and long-term expansion plans across its financial services portfolio.
The appointment, which has received regulatory clearance from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), comes as the banking group continues to align its leadership structure with evolving regulatory expectations and sector-wide reforms. The Group stated that the decision reflects its commitment to deepening expertise at board level while supporting sustainable growth across its subsidiaries.
Brandspur Banking News Desk reports that Adebajo brings more than 30 years of cross-sector experience spanning finance, agriculture, consulting, renewable energy, and corporate transformation. Her background is expected to strengthen FCMB’s strategic direction, particularly in business restructuring, ESG integration, and governance enhancement.
Her professional track record includes senior leadership roles at major organisations such as Lafarge Africa, Lumos Nigeria, and Mouka Limited. She also previously served as Commissioner for Agriculture in Ogun State, where she led policy initiatives focused on improving agricultural productivity and private sector participation.
Adebajo’s academic and executive training includes programmes at Harvard Business School and Imperial College London. FCMB Group noted that her appointment aligns with its broader objective of building a future-ready financial institution capable of competing effectively within Nigeria’s rapidly evolving financial services industry.
