Access Bank Plc has appointed Ifeyinwa Osime as the new Chairperson of its Board of Directors, following the retirement of Paul Usoro who completed his regulatory tenure on January 29.
The appointment was announced in a filing at the Nigerian Exchange on Tuesday. Access Holdings Chairman Aigboje Aig-Imhoukhuede described Osime as “a principled and experienced leader with a deep understanding of the bank’s strategy and values.”
He expressed confidence that under her leadership, the bank would “continue to advance its strategic objectives of delivering sustainable value to shareholders and other stakeholders in the pursuit of its vision to become the world’s most respected African bank.”
Osime, a legal practitioner specializing in corporate governance, joined the Access Bank board as an independent non-executive director in November 2019. She previously chaired the Board Human Resources and Sustainability Committee and the Board Governance Nomination and Remuneration Committee.
She holds a law degree from the University of Benin and an LL.M. from the London School of Economics, and has attended executive programmes at institutions including Harvard Business School and INSEAD.
